Exchange Bristol is undertaking a community share issue to secure its future as a grassroots venue at the heart of Bristol’s live music scene. If successful, the share issue will put Exchange Bristol on a firmer footing by giving it the solid bedrock of community ownership, clearing historic debts and enabling it to make improvements to its building in order to increase revenue-generating potential.
