Children in Need events in Bristol
Posted on: 13 Nov 2014It is Children in Need Day this Friday 14 November 2014 as the country looks to build on the £600 million raised since its launch in 1980.
There are a huge number of events going on in and around Bristol and a few are outlined below. If there is nothing organised at your work or school yet hold a superhero costume day, or even easier a Mufti day, and raise some funds for the great causes supported by Children in Need. The live show for the Bristol area is taking place at Wookey Hole.
