Weekend fun and events in Bristol from 29-31 May 2015
Posted on: 29 May 2015The weekend's almost upon us and Sunday brings to a close the merry month of May (made even merrier in no small part to the delicious double-whammy of two Bank Holidays). How time flies when you've having fun, eh?
So clear your schedules and free your diary for three days of shameless, unexpurgated Bristol-style fun. From big bugs to wow the whippersnappers during their last few days of half term to a spooky cemetery screening of a silent film classic, here are a few of our personal top picks for the next three days.
