“I begin my song with the Heliconian Muses;
they have made Helicon, the great god-haunted
mountain,
their domain.”
(Hesiod,
Theogeny, Lines 1-3)
Hi there! We’re Helicon, Bristol University’s Creative Arts Magazine. This blog and the print issues are brought to you by an editorial team of Bristol students.
Helicon began over ten years ago as a photocopied pamphlet put
together by a group of English students. Since these humble beginnings, it has evolved into an award-winning publication encompassing not only prose
and poetry, but other broader ventures such as art, photography and film. The society
itself has also become an established place for like-minded students to share and
appreciate such work, and enjoy regular open-mic nights and crafty workshops.
At Helicon, we are dedicated to showcasing existing and new talent in
ever expanding creative fields and keeping you up-to-date with local events and
exhibitions. In essence, we aim to bring together Bristol's ever-growing
creative community!
The Magazine
Helicon is a termly magazine compiled of a selection of work submitted
by students, staff and locals and includes features put together by the
editorial team. Every issue follows a new theme, and we encourage submitters to
interpret it as wildly and creatively as their imagination will
carry them. We want to hear from everyone, and are always keen to see new work
and hear your ideas!

well as daily posts by our team of anything quirky or interesting we’ve spotted
