Christmas Step BBQ

If you don't have a plan for this Bank Holiday Sunday (30th August), here is one: BBQ at Christmas Steps! After the Shapes Harbourside Festival party, the Chrstimas Steps courtyard will open again. 

It will be more than music and food in the sun (hopefully in the sun!) featuring an outdoor BBQ of culinary delights expertly cooked by the Christmas Steps' head chef as well as 11 hours of music. The outdoor free event will start at 2pm until 9pm at the courtyard. Then, the party will continue inside until 1am. 

With expert selections from three of Bristol's finest musical staples (Feel The Real Soundsystem, Soulworks Bristol and Boogie Cafe Records) expect some good house, boogie, funk and sould sounds.

Eat and drink is Bristol's Fashion!

Starting today 1st May until 18th May, Queen Square is hosting Eat Drink Bristol Fashion. During 18 days, there will be food, live entertainment and drinks in the tipi village they built in the beautiful square close to the Harbourside.

Queen Square, planned in 1699 in honour of Queen Anne, is a garden square in the centre of Bristol. It was originally a fashionable 18th century residential area but now most of the beautiful buildings have been converted into offices. The statue of William III in the centre of the square was casted in 1733 by John Michael Rysbrack.Nowadays and especially during summertime, the square is used to host many festivals and concerts.

Eat Drink Bristol Fashion is a collaborative project that champions sustainable food production, ethical food systems and food traceability... knowing where your food has come from. All this while showcasing Bristol and the South West’s abundance of quality chefs, suppliers and restaurants to the rest of the country!  (Check website)

The May Bank Holiday is full of activities in this festival: Tomorrow (2nd May) chefs Nathan Outlaw and Valentine Warner will combine their forces to offer a fine dining schedule. Saturday, the Invisible Charity Banquet will be presented by Bristol's chefs, Coexist and The Invisible Circus. On Sunday, dinner will be provided by Head Chef at Michelin starred Bath Priory Sam Moody. And on Monday, dinner will be cooked by Casamia Michelin-starred restaurant owners Peter and Jonray Sanchez Iglesias. 

There is free entrance to the Tapas Cafe and Bar although they recommend to book a table for the dinners.
