Urbis is an exhibition centre about city life. On your visit you can explore temporary exhibitions about contemporary art & design, urban gardening, the city environment and the people who make our cities what they are. There is so much on at Urbis this year, it will leave you wanting to come back for more. You don't have to cram it all into one visit, take your time, everything's free. Make the most of your visit by relaxing in our cafe 'The Social' or sipping a delicious cocktail in 'The Modern' our new bar and restaurant. We will still be here when you come back!
