“With Bristol being the Green Capital of Europe in 2015, the city is awash with initiatives to green up businesses, organisations, services, schools, shops, and a whole mix of different elements that make up the fabric of this fine city. But the big one livestock farming, which means eating meat and dairy seems to be left off the agenda.”

“This is the third night of our fantastic, if slightly tacky beer festival, which goes on throughout the weekend. Expect nothing but the best beers the UK has to offer, with 22 beers, and a fair few ciders to boot over the weekend. Tonight is the Eurovision final, so bring your finest Albanian flags and pull up a pew. We will be screening the Eurovision final upstairs, alongside some awesome beers. It is advisable to get here early if you want a seat for the final upstairs, as it gets extremely busy!”
