“We come here because of the community feeling- everyone is so welcoming”
history of hubbub
Hubbub Café started life as a takeaway kiosk in July 2020, during the Covid-19 pandemic. During this time of isolation and uncertainty, residents told us that they needed a space to get reliable information and support, as well as somewhere to socialise safely as stated in the Community Plan.
The kiosk became a café in December 2021, with the community voting on the name. It quickly became a regular gathering spot.
Hubbub couldn’t run without our brilliant volunteers- they embody our welcoming ethos and we’re so thankful for what they do.
The Hubbub has been a lifesaver for me- I come every week
more than a cafe
Hubbub is a Warm Welcome Space, meaning that anyone can come to experience a safe, welcoming and warm space, for free. By February 2023 we became a Warm Welcome Coordinator, supporting other spaces across Horfield and Lockleaze.
We also began inviting trusted partners to deliver free advice drop-ins during Hubbub Café, always shaped by what residents and café attendees said they needed. The Café has become a Lockleaze institution, and continues to be shaped by the community.
