What People Say

We love hearing from our customers - here are some examples of the feedback we've received. Good or bad, if you have an experience to share, get in touch in person, on our social networks or via email

"I don't suppose the Watershed would lend me the keys for an all night cake/coffee based lock-in? I'll keep the noise down and I won't touch the hummus."

"I always get a pang of excitement when reading the new Watershed brochure.There's nothing like print and nothing like 'Tree of Life' to whet appetite."

"Had a very lovely meal indeed at Watershed last night - best fishcakes I've tasted in a long while! Big big compliments to the chef."

"I'm going to spend most of today at Watershed, writing, chatting, drinking latte, maybe some tapas for lunch. My idea of an office!"

"Watershed is more than just an arts cinema. It is at once a cultural centre, a business broker, a social networker, a research and innovation facility, a café/bar, and a cultural tourist attraction."

UK Creative Economy Programme.

"Very much enjoyed 'North by Northwest'! So nice to see it on the big screen. More I say, more!"

"Another great evening at Watershed. No matter how much time I spend there I always want to spend more."

"Watershed has deservedly won this year's Europa Cinemas 'Entrepreneur of the Year' Award, selected from among the 1000 cinemas that belong to the network in over 500 cities. This reflects the adventurous approach that Watershed has taken to developing new ways of connecting with its audiences and reaching out towards a wider public. Watershed has already inspired many other cinemas, and the award confirms how highly its team is regarded around Europe. Bristol is lucky to have such a dynamic venue, which is also dedicated to remaining accessible and welcoming."

Professor Ian Christie, Vice-President of Europa Cinemas.

"What a fantastic event! Wonderful speakers - thank you so much for your time and inspiring messages. Special thanks to Watershed for being ace!"

"I miss spending time at Watershed every Thursday I spend out of Bristol. I'm craving the food, the atmosphere and the company."

Dear Mark

I hope I'm writing to the right person, but I just wanted to drop you (and the Watershed) a note to say how much we're enjoying the Bernard Herrman season.

We attended the Herrmann - Knowing the Score event this afternoon and I just thought I should write to say we thought it was excellent - Neil Brand has an excellent lecturing style, he knew his material well and the talk was illustrated superbly. We also liked that not a minute was wasted - everything he talked about was absolutely fascinating and relevant and was exactly what we had turned up hoping to hear. We could easily have listened to him for another hour and a half. The week before we thoroughly enjoyed the talk on the theremin prior to the showing of 'Day the Earth Stood Still' and the opportunity to try and play the instrument after was too good to pass up!

Please continue to organise events such as this in the future

Yours with best wishes
