Bristol City Poppy Day returns this Saturday with free music and entertainment throughout the city

From Bonfire Night fireworks displays to the launch of the Broadmead Christmas Market, Bristol families are spoilt for choice with seasonal activities this weekend.

For those enjoying the festivities in the city centre this Saturday (November 5), the Royal British Legion (RBL) will also be on hand to provide free entertainment as part of its annual Bristol City Poppy Day appeal. Starting at 10.30am, the RBL will treat shoppers at The Galleries shopping centre to a full day of music, including performances from the Bristol Military Wives Choir and the RAF Military Jazz Band.

After an official opening, the event kicks off with RBL vocalist Tune Whitfield at 10.45am, followed by the Military Wives Choir at 11.30am and the RAF Military Jazz Band at 12.15pm. Harpist Lizzy Bennie will be dazzling listeners from 1.00pm and giving children the opportunity to have a go themselves on some special mini harps.
