Thrift stores in Bristol
If you like the hunt, Bristol, England is worth a wander: 355 second-hand and charity shops are mapped here. 337 of them are charity shops and 18 are independent second-hand stores, so Bristol gives you both flavours of thrifting in one trip.
This guide covers every thrift store we could verify in and around Bristol (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Sue Ryder and Imperial Charity, plus Imperial Charity — each with its own personality, which is half the fun. If a shop's missing from Bristol's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet — the scene is bigger than any single dataset.

What the map tells us about thrifting in Bristol
109 of the 355 shops list their opening hours, which is unusually helpful for Bristol — thrift stores are notorious for surprise closures. Still, call ahead if you're making a special trip to Bristol; volunteer-run shops sometimes close early on quiet days.
98 shops have websites listed, worth a look before you go — some post new arrivals or sale days online.
Thrift shops cluster a little: 15 of them sit on High Street, so you can string those into one walk and hit the rest by car.
The Bristol thrift circuit
The efficient Bristol thrifting route strings these together: Sue Ryder, Imperial Charity, Imperial Charity, Ruksak 45218 on 25 High Street, Sue Ryder on 28 High Street, Imperial Charity on 26 High Street, Dorothy House Hospice Care, and Wiltshire Air Ambulance — 355 shops, one logical loop, no backtracking. 347 more are listed below.
Thrifting tips for Bristol
Thrifting in Bristol goes better with a little prep:
- Ask about hold policies at Sue Ryder. Eyeing furniture you can't take today? Many shops will hold an item for 24 hours. Ask before someone else buys it.
- Learn the colour-tag system at Imperial Charity. Many charity shops tag items with coloured stickers and discount one colour each week. Ask at the till; it's rarely advertised.
- Check the furniture first. Solid wood furniture is the thrift store's greatest bargain — it was built to last and priced to move. Measure your space before you go.
- Don't skip the linens. Tablecloths, curtains and wool blankets are routinely excellent and routinely overlooked. Check for stains in good light.
Good to know
We searched about 40 km around Bristol — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to for a thrifting run. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new shop in Bristol can take a while to appear. If you spot one of the 355 that's closed, or a great shop we missed, the fix is to update the map itself — that's where this guide reads from.
Prices at Bristol's thrift stores are set by each shop and change constantly, so we don't list them. As a rough rule, charity shops are the cheapest, independents sit in the middle, and anything labelled vintage costs more everywhere — Bristol included.
Thrift store listings for Bristol: 355 mapped from OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). Photos from Wikimedia Commons contributors; individual photo credits appear in captions. Listing data was last refreshed automatically — verify hours before visiting.
