What is Sparks?
Sparks Bristol is a department store with a difference, co-created by Global Goals Centre and Artspace Lifespace. From fashion and food to nature and energy, each department is designed to support people in Bristol to take easy (and often money-saving!) actions on climate, equality and wellbeing.

Yes, the ground floor of Sparks is fully accessible and we have lift access to the upper floors, located next to the Department of Discovery.
