Events being planned

November: a talk on the prospects for the future of the Glenside Hospital Museum.

Between 29 September and 10 October, two events about plans for the future of the St Philips Marsh area – a walkabout on site, and an online briefing/discussion. And it’s a fair bet that as usual we will be having a Winter Social in the latter part of January, probably in the Watershed.

We are arranging three of State of the City round-table events. These are still very much at the concept stage, so if you have any thoughts, do get in touch.

Other plans include (but aren’t restricted to) talks on Bristol Ferries, Bristol’s part in the film industry, housing density (and how to achieve it without building high), the commercial property market, and a look at how the Clean Air Zone has worked.
