Father's Day in Bristol
Posted on: 16 Jun 2017They do a lot for us, our dads – in both keeping a roof over our heads and keeping things happy beneath it, both nurturing and nourishing us in our formative years, and, more impressively, putting up with us in our teenage ones – their work is eternally impressive. So impressive, in fact, that it seems rather reductive to label just one day in their honour annually.
But on the third Sunday in June (this Sunday) the country over, we celebrate our fathers especially for 24 hours. If you are struggling for ways in which to spend the day properly, take a look below at our handy guide to the finest Father’s Day entertainment in Bristol.

Three undergraduate years at UoB were more than ample time for Bristol (as it inevitably does) to get under his skin, and so here he remains: reporting, as Assistant Editor, on the cultural happenings which so infatuated him with the city.
