The Old Brewery Valentines Event | Abri Homes

A landmark event is set to take place in Southville, Bristol. On 28 February 2026, The Old Brewery will host a one-day open day, offering prospective buyers and local residents the chance to explore one of Bristol’s most distinctive new developments.

The event is designed for anyone curious about Shared Ownership homes, modern living and being among the first to experience a community built on heritage and quality

Step inside The Old Brewery

Visitors attending the open day will have the unique opportunity to walk through one and two bedroom apartments. Each home has been designed to balance practicality with style. Open plan living areas flow naturally, while large windows fill rooms with light, creating an airy, welcoming atmosphere.

Kitchens are modern and efficient, with durable surfaces and integrated appliances. While bathrooms feature high quality fittings designed for everyday life. Attention has been paid to both aesthetics and functionality, making each home feel comfortable from the moment you step inside.

Energy efficient construction ensures that homes are cost-effective to run and environmentally conscious. From smart insulation to high performance glazing, every detail has been considered. The open day allows visitors to experience this combination of design, practicality and sustainability firsthand - something that brochures or floor plans cannot fully convey.

Meet the sales team

Throughout the event, Abri Homes’ sales representatives will be on hand to answer questions, explain the Shared Ownership process, and provide guidance tailored to individual circumstances. Prospective buyers can get clarity on eligibility criteria, deposit requirements and mortgage options.

This personalised interaction is particularly valuable for first time buyers or anyone navigating the Shared Ownership system for the first time. Attending in person allows visitors to ask questions directly, build confidence and understand exactly how they could move into a home at The Old Brewery.

Exclusive event incentives

The 28 February open day comes with special offers for visitors, making it an ideal time to act. Incentives may include:

• Contributions toward legal fees
• Help with deposits or mortgage support
• Flooring packages included
• Assistance with moving costs for selected plots

These offers are designed to reduce upfront costs and make the process of buying a home smoother. They vary depending on availability, so attending the event ensures buyers can learn about the latest offers directly from the sales team. For many, these incentives could make the difference between considering a home and securing one.

Experience Southville living

Location is one of The Old Brewery’s strongest selling points. Situated on North Street, the development is at the heart of a vibrant, characterful neighbourhood. Independent cafés, restaurants, shops and cultural venues such as the Tobacco Factory Theatre are all within walking distance, creating a sense of community and connection.

Green spaces, including Greville Smyth Park, offer room for exercise, relaxation and outdoor activities. For sports fans, Ashton Gate Stadium is nearby, providing a central hub for football and events.

The development’s excellent transport links make commuting straightforward. Bristol city centre is easily accessible, while Temple Meads Station and key road routes connect residents to Bath, Cardiff and beyond. Visitors attending the open day can see firsthand how The Old Brewery combines convenience with neighbourhood charm.

Regeneration at the heart of the development

The Old Brewery is a prime example of thoughtful urban regeneration. Once the site of the historic Ashton Gate Brewery, the area has been transformed into a modern, thriving residential community.

The design respects the industrial heritage of the site, incorporating architectural references to its past. At the same time, contemporary materials and clean lines give the homes a modern edge. This balance between history and modernity creates a development that feels authentic, grounded and in tune with its surroundings.

The scheme also includes commercial spaces, ensuring that the development remains integrated with the wider community. Local businesses are encouraged to thrive and the streetscape remains lively and connected rather than isolated. Attending the open day gives visitors the chance to see regeneration in action - how a former industrial site can be reimagined as a welcoming and functional neighbourhood.

Brownfield regeneration is particularly important in Bristol, where demand for housing is high and green space is limited. The Old Brewery demonstrates how cities can reuse underutilised land, preserve heritage and create homes that meet modern needs.

Shared Ownership made simple

One of the standout features of The Old Brewery is Shared Ownership, which makes homeownership more accessible. Buyers purchase an initial share of the property, typically starting at 35% and pay a subsidised rent on the remainder. Over time, they can increase their share and build equity at a pace that suits their finances.

Shared Ownership reduces the upfront costs of buying a home and provides a clear pathway to full ownership. For many first time buyers, this model makes living in a sought-after area like Southville achievable for the first time.

The open day is the perfect opportunity to speak with experts about how Shared Ownership works, understand affordability, and explore the financial options available.

Why you should attend the open day on 28th February

The event is more than a standard viewing - it is an immersive experience. Visitors will be able to:

• Tour finished apartments and see layouts in real life
• Speak directly with Abri Homes about buying options and Shared Ownership
• Explore limited time incentives available for early buyers
• Visualise life in Southville before committing to a purchase

With high demand and limited availability, the 28th February open day offers a unique chance to secure a home and understand how this community is coming to life.
