Bristol24/7 Student Guide 2020: Welcome from the Editor

By Jack Fifield  Tuesday Aug 18, 2020

This year’s student guide is a little bit different. With Covid-19, a lot of things have had to change in our daily lives, and there are still a lot of unknowns.

However, Bristol remains as colourful and vibrant a city as ever – even if some of it has to be appreciated virtually for the time being.

That’s why, instead of eating out we’re going to talk about eating in; instead of festivals, you’ll find things you can do outdoors around the city – with museums going online, and Bristol’s outdoor street art rivalling any indoor gallery, you’ll never be short of things to do – even if it looks more socially distanced this year.

Independent journalism
is needed now More than ever
Keep our city's journalism independent. Become a supporter member today.

Just because your Bristol experience might look a bit different to normal, doesn’t mean it won’t be just as fun.

While this year might be a weird one, just remember that we’re all in this together.
