Bristol's Make Sundays special kicks off on Sunday 4th May
Posted on: 30 Apr 2014Make Sundays Special is the now annual event held across Bristol City Centre. The launch on 4th May will include Park Street, College Green, Small Street and Corn Street with the other dates all based around Corn Street and Small Street only.
This year the event that has caught everyone's attention is the proposed giant water slide down Park Street, the brain child of artist, Luke Jerram. Almost 100,000 people had signed up to slide down Park Street with the lucky few chosen by ballot last week. However, there is much more to Make Sundays special than just a giant water slide! Held over 5 Sundays over Summer, starting on the 4th May, the city centre will be closed to traffic and in its place will be street art, music, street games and other entertainment including; a new urban loop for people to run, cycle, skate, stroll, board or unicyle, dance groups, fitness camps, Tai Chi, puppet shows, street theatre, local history tour guides, judo demonstrations, comedy acts, plug in and play, choirs, stilt walkers and circus performers.
Make Sundays Special is the brain child of Bristol’s Mayor, George Ferguson building on the success of similar schemes in Bordeaux and Bogota. There will also be a wide variety of markets coordinated by the team at St Nicks.
