Welcome to August
What’s On proudly introduce our biggest issue of the year, a sensational summer sizzler that beggars belief and promises to get you all in the holiday mood. Welcome to August folks and our annual issue that brings you not just the best of Bristol but the best of Weston - a seasonal double-whammy from the What’s On team and something to firmly get your teeth into. This month we can reveal the 2010 face of What’s On Bristol, a search that spanned 6 months with over 5,000 entrants. Quite how we managed to pick 12 finalists is beyond belief but after a long and painstaking search make sure to read all about the competition and what will happen next. August sees three major events starting with the Bristol Harbourside Festival kicking off the month in spectacular style. Whether you’re a visitor to Bristol or fortunate to live here, it’s a great occasion to celebrate and if you’re out and about and soaking up the infectious atmosphere be assured that we’ll be there as well to record the occasion and tell you all about it in next months issue. The other two highlights of the month have to be the opening of the Grand Pier at Weston and the celebrated international Balloon Fiesta. Both events are keenly anticipated and are sure to generate crowds and well deserved attention, so if there was ever a reason to stay at home this month instead of the lure of foreign pastures – ladies and gentlemen I rest my case! With summer in full swing, August is packed to the gunnels with recommendations for making the most of your precious leisure time. Whether you have little ones or not, don’t miss out on our top tips and suggestions for days out with a difference. Entertainment, recipes, puzzles and giveaways of a lifetime (not to mention our continuing cheeky adventures on Facebook and Twitter) there’s never been a better time to pick up your free copy of Bristol’s number one family guide. As the saying goes, if you want to know what’s on, when it’s on, why it’s on and where it’s on this August, it’s got to be What’s On Bristol – the undisputed people’s choice! Salut!
