There’s always something cooking at Coexist Community Kitchen and everyone’s welcome.
We host fun cooking classes, thought-provoking talks with authors, lively street food pop-ups with music, and creative food & craft sessions. On Wednesdays, our Guest Chefs serve up takeaway meals, and our Monthly Meals are a great way to connect with others in your community.
Every event we host helps support our community outreach work. We also offer catering and kitchen hire—all of which helps keep the kitchen open and thriving.
Take a look below to see what’s on—we’d love to see you there.

Monthly Meal
COMMUNITY GATHERING
Join us for a special Monthly Meal as we celebrate Feeding Bristol’s Food Justice Fortnight! Come by anytime from 6:30pm, find a seat, and enjoy a wholesome, vegetarian meal made with love. We’ll serve until the food runs out—so come early to guarantee a plate! Vegan and gluten-free options available where possible. No need to book, but as this one might be especially busy, it really helps if you can sign up to let us know you're coming. It’s free (donations welcome) and a great way to connect with your community!

We're honoured to be working with Jerusalem-based chef Izzeldin Bukhari, founder of Sacred Cuisine and Amos Trust for a unique evening at the Coexist Kitchen that will bring the flavours of Gaza to Bristol. Enjoy a lovingly prepared three-course vegetarian meal spotlighting traditional Gazan dishes — while Izzeldin shares the stories, memories and meaning behind every plate. Amos Trust’s Sally Azzam will also be in conversation with Izzeldin, exploring how food becomes a form of resistance — a way to remember, connect and survive.
