We’ve officially entered the second and shortest month of the year, but that doesn’t mean our beloved Bristol isn’t still jam-packed full of events to keep your social diaries busy throughout.
From the Royal Photographic Society’s first exhibition at their new home in Paintworks and a mix of political, heart-warming and community-led stories told on stage, to the ravenous welcome of the British Dal Festival and some belly laughs across many of the city’s independent eateries, Bristol is once again set to come alive with culture and creativity this February.
So if you haven’t already started filling in your 2019 diary, then now is the time to grab a pen and get some plans down.
