Christmas lyrics to be projected onto city centre sights during Advent
Well-known lyrics from Christmas songs will be projected onto buildings across the city centre until Christmas Eve, with St George’s full of Jingle Bell Rock as the sun set on the first day of December.
Bristol ADVENTure is a new arts project from Bristol City Centre BID and a continuation of the #BristolTogether collaboration behind the ‘Hearts in Parks’ during the summer.
Due to social distancing regulations, the locations will not be revealed in advance, but we have been told to expect some glowing building frontages, some messaging under your feet and plenty of surprises featuring some of the best Christmas songs of all time.
is needed now More than ever
Bristol City Centre BID operations director, Keith Rundle, said: “As we enter the festive period, we want to bring some wonder and creativity to our city in December.
“Many of the city’s businesses have come together to make it happen, providing their buildings, power supplies, lighting, and time to create a trail for us all to enjoy and explore safely.
“Lighting and production company SLX has kindly supplied all the kit and we are really pleased to be able to provide opportunities for lighting technicians who have lost work in theatres and productions this year.”
Whether The Pogues, Mariah Carey or Slade are your favourite Christmas artist, look out for the daily unveilings.
Locations have been selected across the city centre from Park Street to Cabot Circus, taking in City Hall to Broadmead.
Every day of the light projections, Visit Bristol will be publishing a page on their website with the location, fun facts about the lyrics and also a related ‘Merry Bristmas’ fact.
