It’s a massive weekend for getting outside, with festivals, street parties and outdoor theatre to enjoy.
Kicking off the festivities, the Festival of Nature takes over Millennium Square and the Harbourside all weekend, while over in Henleaze, Westbury-on-Trym and Stoke Bishop, doors will fling open for the BS9 Art Trail.
In Queen Square there’s funny business going on with the final flourish of Bristol Comedy Garden 2018: comedians on stage over the final days include Ross Noble, Miles Jupp, Fern Brady and Andrew Maxwell.
Keep with the celebratory theme by visiting Colston Hall’s 1951 auditorium for the last time ever as the doors close for a major refurbishment, and pop into the UWE Bristol Creative Industries Degree Show to see what the next generation of creative minds is dreaming up.
