Bristol Cathedral and partners are delighted to present Party on the Green, a day of free live music and festivities on College Green on Sunday 18 June, 10.30am – 5.00pm. Following the success of last year’s Jubilee Lunch, Bristol Cathedral would like to invite everybody to bring a picnic and join communities from across Bristol for a Sunday full of food and festivities in the heart of Bristol.
Activities will be available throughout the day from the very best of Bristol’s institutions including SS Great Britain, We The Curious and Young Bristol. St George’s Bristol has programmed a not-to-be-missed music stage featuring local legends Troyka, Mohamed Errebbaa, Kat Lyons, China Bowls, Kalan Chng.
First Bus are also partnering with the event to enable families and groups to travel into the city at a discounted cost. Up to 5 people can travel all day on 18th June for £5 by buying a Group Ticket through the First Bus App and using the code 'POG2023'.
“We look forward to welcoming the people of Bristol to celebrate 650 years of the county and our shared life together, in all our diversity. It will be great to enjoy the best of Bristol’s live music and cultural scene on our doorstep, and I hope that many people will respond to the invitation to join us!” says the Very Rev’d Dr Mandy Ford, Dean of Bristol.
The event is being delivered as one of the activities under the City Centre and High Streets Recovery and Renewal programme, funded by Bristol City Council and the West of England Combined Authority’s Love our High Streets project. It has also received generous sponsorship from the Friends of Bristol Cathedral and Bristol City Centre Business Improvement District.
“Bristol 650 is an opportunity for people to come together and celebrate Bristol as a diverse, multicultural city, renowned for its arts and creativity,” says Councillor Craig Cheney, Deputy Mayor and Cabinet Member for Finance, Governance, Property and Culture. “Bristol Cathedral is doing this by bringing together communities from across our city with Party on the Green. This free, full day event is suitable for people of all ages and includes live music, food and family friendly games and activities.”
Event partners include: Bristol Cathedral Friends, The Big Lunch, St George’s Bristol, Bristol City Centre BID, SS Great Britain, Young Bristol, St Mary Redcliffe.
Luke Jerram’s Oil Fountain, a fountain sculpture which flows with artificial oil instead of water, will also be on display in the Cathedral during this time as part of the Festival of Nature. There’s no charge for entry and everyone is welcome.
Further details will be announced over the coming weeks via Bristol Cathedral’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram posts and also on their website: bristol-cathedral.co.uk/pog
