    The Christmas Market is yet another very popular community-led event hosted by St Werburghs Community Centre.

    Join us on Friday for a festive feast of all things creative and buy original arts and crafts from the best local artists and makers. There are always plenty of wonderful stalls booked filled with personal, handmade and unique gifts for your family and friends.

    The following items will be on sale:

    • Paintings, photography, prints, stained glass, pottery & ceramics;
    • Handmade crafts, knitted baby clothing and home accessories;
    • Natural, organic and fairtrade skincare products;
    • Wooden toys and wood carvings;
    • Fairtrade gifts and jewellery;
    • Locally produced and grown food, honey, chocolate and beer;
    • Bric-a-brac; and
    • Indian and Tibetan gifts.

    If those items fail to tempt you through the door, the Christmas Market will also feature:

    • Live performance;
    • Café with home-made food and cakes;
    • Children’s activities; and
    • Massage and relaxation therapies.
    • If you need any more convincing to come along, here’s a short video from last year’s event.

  • Bristol Post balls – rescued from the rescue services?

    There seem to be times when confusion is rife in the Bristol Post’s headquarters on Temple Way. This was exemplified yesterday by the headline in this report, of which a screenshot follows, just in case Post hacks realise a mistake has been made.

    In spite of the headline, Post reporter Emma Flanagan fails to explain in her article why anyone would need rescuing from the fire brigade after a night out.

    Furthermore, there is no explanation either for the logic behind Bristol’s City Docks having their own fire brigade.

    Perhaps kind readers could help her out and provide plausible reasons in the comments below. 🙂
