Good to know
Is anything free?
Yes, Audio Described Tours and Paper Bristol (and beyond...) Art display by Genki Club are free to attend. Some free events still need a ticket booked in advance; each listing says so.
What do tickets cost?
Paid events start from £1. Prices are taken from each organiser's own published list and shown on every event page, with the booking link.
What if it rains?
Toddler Mornings, Vox Lumiere Metropolis and Play: Mario Kart are indoors. Our rainy-day list has every place under a roof if the forecast turns.
How up to date is this?
The list refreshes every few minutes from the organisers' own published schedules. If an event is cancelled at short notice it may still show; the booking link on each listing goes to the organiser's live page.
