127 things to do in Bristol in February 2018

Spring is just around the corner in this month for lovers, but if you’re single or just avoiding all things Valentine’s like the plague, there’s plenty else for you to fall head-over-heels for.

It’s a bumper month for theatre, with several notable productions coming our way. On the biggest end of the scale is Wicked, arriving by juggernaut to the Hippodrome for their latest UK tour, while in the intimate confines of the Wardrobe Theatre comes one-man-show Labels. Shunning an auditorium altogether, Blood and Butchery in Bedminster is the lovechild of promenade theatre and a walking tour, taking in sights, smells and stories south of the river.

If it’s food that truly has your heart, don’t miss Tsukemono cooking up modern Japanese food that goes far beyond ramen at the Robin Hood on St Michael’s hill. There are celebrations for Chinese New Year at Yi Zeng’s one-off supper club, where she’ll cook the dishes that taste of her home. And, if January has been a long dry month, make sure to join East London Liquor Company for the latest round of Gin Club.

Finally, if you are someone who celebrates V-Day in style, or just fancies a novel new date night (you can take yourself on a date, don’t forget), check out the Valentine’s Supper Club at West Street Kitchen, new exhibition 24H Our City at Hamilton House, showcasing photographs taken in a 24-hour period on Stokes Croft, and storytelling night Let Me Tell You A Story, Jack. Although the theme for that one is ‘bad romance’, so it may not be quite right for a first date.
