A big one-day free summer picnic party with live music is to be held on College Green next month, church leaders at Bristol Cathedral have announced. And they’ve laid on cheap buses for families and groups from across Bristol to attend.
The Party On The Green will take place on Sunday, June 18, and everyone from across the city is invited to bring a picnic and enjoy activities laid on by people from the likes of the SS Great Britain, We The Curious and Young Bristol. There will also be a music stage, set up by St George’s Bristol, which feature local artists including Troyka, Mohamed Errebbaa, Kat Lyons, China Bowls and Knowle West’s own Kala Chng.
The idea emerged from the 2022 Jubilee Lunch that was organised on College Green by the Cathedral, and this year’s event looks set to be even bigger. It’s being organised as part of the celebrations of Bristol’s 650th anniversary since it gained city and county status.
