The Beckford
The Beckford is a new bar brought to you by Bristol SU and is part of the Source Marketplace food court in Senate House. It is a perfect space to meet friends for a drink, hold small student group socials, or relax after studying.
The bar is named after the iconic Carmen Beckford, one of the founders of St Paul's Carnival and Bristol’s first Race Relations Officer. The name for the space was chosen in an online vote by Bristol students. There is a mural of Carmen on the wall, painted by local black artist Natasha Sweeting.

Meet the Artist: Natasha Sweeting
Inside The Beckford you'll be able to see a mural of Carmen Beckford, Bristol's first Race Relations Officer and a founder of St Paul's Carnival, painted by Natasha Sweeting.
Born to a Tanzanian mother and a British father in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, Natasha Sweeting’s artistic endeavours began at a young age influenced by the bright bold colours and strong shapes often favoured by African cultures.
While in school, she developed an interest in portrait painting and was especially drawn to the untold stories behind people’s expressions and the power of the gaze.
