Harbour Festive Boat Parade

Can you imagine there is a sailing parade, where boats are decorated with Christmas decoration and light up the Harbourside? Next Saturday, 14th December, this will actually be happening. Bristol harbourside will shine bright on this second edition. For two hours, over 30 boats of all colours, shapes and sizes will illuminate the Harbourside with a Christmas parade for the second time.

The five-mile circuit will start at Prince's Bridge, where boats will gather at 6pm, and boats will pass by Lloyds TSB Amphitheatre, SS Great Britain, the Cottage and Grain Barge. Be at Prince's Bridge at 6pm and 7.30pm as the bridge will swing to allow boats to pass through. Something worth seeing!

In order to watch this free outdoor illumination event properly, find your perfect spot on the waterfront. Come and celebrate the festive season!!

Christmas lights switch on

8th Noveber: Christmas officially starts tomorrow in Bristol. Cabot Circus will switch on its Christmas lights. I was there last years "switch on" event and I can tell you Cabot Circus gets very busy. There will be people hours before the procession starts, standing on the balconies, intending to see the whole performance from the best perspective possible. 

As far as I can see, Cabot Circus Christmas event organisers love Disney, or at least folk tales. Last year, it was a Peter Pan-themed event, this year it's Cinderella's turn. Suzanne Shaw, a 32-year old English actress, singer and television personallity known for winning the talent contest Popstar, will perfom as Cinderella at the Hippodrome show until 5th January, and lead the procession of tomorrow which starts at The Galleries at 5.30pm. It will then go through Broadmead, until it gets to the interiors of Cabot Circus. Music, acrobats, singers and dancers will entertain us until the Christmas lights will be switched on at 6.20pm and we will able to officially start buying Christmas presents.
