A
event
on Monday 15th December. The event starts at 18:30.
Join us for an evening with writer & historian Jane Duffus as she uncovers some of the extraordinary women who built bristol.
Hear the story of the two girls thrown over the Clifton Suspension Bridge by their desperate father (spoiler alert: they survived) and a woman who quite literally built (bits of) Bristol by virtue of owning a building company.
Expect humour, passion and inspiration in equal measure as Jane brings these remarkable women vividly to life. We uncover the campaigners, creators, engineers, and everyday pioneers whose stories deserve to be told. Plus the chance to hear from Jane about her research (and her favourite tales!).
Whether you’re a historian, designer, activist or simply curious about the city you call home, this is your chance to see Bristol in a whole new light – a Bristol built on courage, ingenuity and sheer determination by those whose stories you never knew until now.
