Make Sunday Special
As well as keeping the fun going in the city centre on the first Sunday of each month until the end of September, residents and local groups are also Making Sunday Special in Avonmouth, Bedminster, Easton and Lawrence Hill and Hartcliffe.
Trinity Community Arts, Stapleton Road Working Group, Stapleton Road Traders and Up Our Street are working together to make Stapleton Road's first 'Make Sunday Special' the best in the city!
The event on Sunday 23 August, 12pm-6pm, will be a community celebration involving a programme of contemporary World Music, Food, Stalls, Dance, Performances and Film, all representative of the local area - The World On One Street!
Pat Usherwood, Chair of the Stapleton Road Working Group said; “We welcome this opportunity to work in partnership with others to make Stapleton Road ‘Make Sunday Special’, a true reflection of the diverse community in which Stapleton Road serves. We aim to showcase and celebrate local talent, skills and community spirit”.
The event has received funding support from Bristol City Council and is part of their wider Make Sunday Special programme. Visit B ristol City Council's website for all the latest news on everything that is going on as part of Make Sunday’s Special!
