It might be a weekend that includes Friday 13, but there’s nothing unlucky about the next few days in Bristol. As the weather improves and we head towards festival season, there’s even more happening than usual to keep you busy.
To kick off, there’s incredible dance performance The Head Wrap Diaries at Trinity on Friday night, which takes audiences through tales of community womanhood and hair.
On Saturday, don’t go in the water as Jaws comes to Colston Hall, accompanied by a dramatic live score by the Czech National Symphony Orchestra.
Finally, Sunday wraps up St George’s Road Spring Beer Festival, a celebration of some of the best real ale pubs in the city centre and the unique beers they’ll be pouring.
