What's On Saturday 5th November in Bristol

Events on Saturday 5th November

“The museum is in the uplifting church built for patients, set in the grounds of the hospital. It has an eclectic collection of drawings, photographs and artefacts from the hospitals which tell the stories of three different hospitals. The purpose built psychiatric hospital covering mental health care and its evolution over time. Beaufort War Hospital as the buildings became during the Frist World War, where over 29,000 soldiers were treated in four years and the painter Staley Spencer was trained as an orderly. And The Stoke Park Colony for learning difficulties, founded in the iconic yellow house on the hill above the M32.”

“Drawing on Celtic mythology and the calendar of trees we will focus on this season, thinking about Autumn, Samhain, bonfires and more, exploring what this time of year might mean for us individually and collectively. In and around Shortcombe Farm, near West Harptree in Somerset, with beautiful views over Chew Valley Lake, this experiential day workshop provides an opportunity to create and be, in fields, woods, and under cover, using natural materials from our surroundings.”

“Cymande combined influences from funk, calypso, soul and jazz, to form a unique and intoxicating sound. Despite success in the USA, they were largely ignored in the UK and experienced abhorrent racism from the music industry, causing them to split in 1975. However, their recordings never stopped inspiring and influencing generations of artists and fans, from Soul II Soul to De La Soul, MC Solaar and The Fugees, prompting their return after forty years.”
