Weekend in Bristol - 24-26 April 2015 - Events and things to do

Posted on: 24 Apr 2015

You've got to admit this week's been an absolute scorcher in Bristol, weather-wise.

 

The combination of beautifully azure skies and radiant sunshine has brought the Bristol masses out in droves. People have enjoyed a post-work pint dangling their legs over the docks, the kids have played in the watery cascade, and that ice cream van on the centre has unsurprisingly sold many cones of icy, creamy deliciousness.

 

Meteorologically speaking, things are cooling down, but with the 5 o'clock sign off just a few hours away the weekend is shaping up to be very hot indeed. Here are a few ideas to get your pulse racing and your temperature rising.
