An upside down house – which sees guests walking on the ceiling – has opened its doors in Bristol city centre. The quirky tourist attraction is a magenta home where everything is flipped 180-degrees.
Called ‘The Upside Down House’, it has opened on the Harbourside in Bristol. As its name suggests, gravity has been inverted in the interior of the house, which sees paying guests walk on the ceiling as tables, chairs, beds, toilets and more hang above them.
There are plenty of places to take photos on the two floors. And it is when these pictures are flipped 180-degrees that the point of Bristol’s newest attraction becomes clear.
Upside-Down House Bristol is located on Anchor Square between We The Curious and Bristol Aquarium. The quirky house, designed as a family-friendly attraction, was constructed at the end of January.
It had previously been delayed with no opening date in site after months of speculation. The house is painted a “bold magenta” to reflect the houses of Cliftonwood and slightly slanted.
A ticket booth is connected to the house for visitors to purchase tickets on the day. It will be the only Upside Down House within the south west and the 12th site across the UK, marking the attraction’s return to the region since leaving Cribbs Causeway.
Alex Barbary, Associate Director at Upside Down House UK, said in January: “We are thrilled to be opening a brand new location in the heart of Bristol, and the only one in the South West.
“Bristol’s quirky blend of culture and entertainment, makes it the perfect setting for our unique attraction.”
Tickets cost £6.95 per person with under-threes going free. The two-storey building is partially accessible for wheelchairs due to the layout of the house. A temporary ramp will be installed leading to the ground floor but the upper floor is only accessible via a spiral staircase.
