“Over four Saturdays this summer we will host a different set of local acoustic musicians outside the Covered Market, helping to raise awareness of the market, encouraging people to visit and for people to enjoy as they dine alfresco. With the largest collection of independent retailers in Bristol, there’s no better time to explore St Nick’s.”
