The event celebrated the end of the city’s Unicfornfest which brought 60 beautifully decorated unicorn sculptures to the streets of Bristol in support of Leukaemia Care.

Taking place on August 31, the ticketed event was in partnership with Unicornfest and Unicorn sponsors, NE Appliances and Cabot Circus.

Held in the Friary Building in Quakers Friars, funds raised at the event will also go to the UK charity.

Nicole Scully, Director of communications at Leukemia Care, added: “Unicornfest has been hugely successful this summer, and we are so grateful to all of our sponsors and fundraising partners, and of course to the many thousands of people participating in the trail.

“The Best of Bristol event is a fantastic opportunity to close the end of the unicorn trail, and to raise even more vital funds and awareness of Leukemia Care. Thank you to everyone.”
