An iconic glassware and jewellery shop in Bristol has launched a clearance sale ahead of closing down at the end of the month.

Bristol Blue Glass is offering 50 per cent off all its blown glass and 20 per centre off its jewellery at its store on High Street in the city centre.

It comes after BristolWorld first reported that the store was shutting down following “struggles” since reopening after the pandemic and “changes” within the city centre.

The store has a sister branch on Bath Road in Arnos Vale, which is remaining open.

The business wrote: “We will be closing our doors' here at High Street, at the end of this month.

“We have thoroughly enjoyed being in the central hub of Bristol, and will miss it.

“But Bath Road is literally a stone's throw away and, as well as browsing the beautiful shop there, you can also watch the glass-makers spin their magic on the hot-floor!”

Bristol Blue Glass was started back in 1988 by James Adlington, with the help of glass maker Peter St Clair.

The aim was to re-establish a glassmaking tradition in Bristol that had been lost for over 60 years.
