This bank holiday weekend (August 23 to 26) will be a busy time in the city with free raves, exhibitions and Old City Sounds are dur to take place to name a few.
We have compiled a list of some of the best things to do this weekend around Bristol for free. Whether it rains or shines, there’s an activity for everyone.
There is of course the option of spending some cash at some of these events while others remain free, meaning you won’t need to spend a thing.
