You’ve seen them all over social media, and now it’s time to create your own gravity-defying content at Bristol’s very own Upside Down House. Located on the Harbourside, right next to the We The Curious science museum, this eye-catching magenta house isn’t just a quirky photo op—it’s a mind-bending, topsy-turvy adventure for all ages.

Once you step inside this two-story house, you’ll be greeted by completely inverted rooms. Forget walking on the floor; here, you’ll be “walking” on the ceiling as a fully furnished home—including the kitchen, living room, bedroom, and bathroom—hangs above you. The house is also built on a slight slant, which adds to the disorienting, funhouse-mirror effect and messes with your balance in the best way possible.

Each room is kitted out with furniture and fun props, all styled with a modern, Bristol-inspired vibe. Think retro accessories, musical touches, and playful elements that encourage silly, creative poses.

he main event here is photography. You can strike poses among the playful props, like a bedroom with a large double bed, a living room with gaming stations, and a bathroom with a toilet and bathtub on the ceiling. The secret to the magic is what happens next:

1. Take your photo: Snap a picture of yourself in your chosen room and pose.
2. Flip it: Rotate your photo 180 degrees.
3. Marvel: Watch as you appear to be defying gravity, hanging from the furniture, or even casually “chilling” on the ceiling.

It’s a fantastic, low-stakes activity perfect for creating viral-worthy photos and making lasting, hilarious memories with friends and family.

If you’re looking for an unforgettable, lighthearted activity in Bristol that promises plenty of laughs and social media gold, the Upside Down House is a must-visit.
