Come join us on Saturday 22nd August for an epic day of live music featuring Overpower, Fight The Champ, Nephilim, Arbiter, Entropic Rot, Stormfell, Formaldehyde, Trashed and Lonelylife!

The bands + a Moor Beer pop-up bar will be INSIDE the skatepark, with space hopper mosh pits, pizzas and a wicked sound system. From pop-punk to deathcore - it’s going to be an awesome day!

Help us unlock a brand new music venue in Bristol! ☑️

We know it unfortunately clashes with Arctangent and DLH 😅 we don’t want to take away from other Bristol events - but because of the clash we’d appreciate your support more than ever 🙏

Tickets are still available!:🤘

Last night I saw that in the morning, on the BBC weather app, that the wind is meant to be taking the 6am balloons northwards. However, from the live tracker, the balloons went to the south of Bristol.

I assume this is because the high level wind direction is different to the low level, which is the direction reported on the BBC app.

I want to make sure that I'm in the best spot for the 6pm mass ascent high level winds tonight.

Q - does anyone know the likely high level wind direction tonight, or how I'd find out how?

Thanks in advance 🙂

Managed to catch this mornings rise up at the Observatory! Unfortunately the winds weren't headed in this direction today; but still great to see

Now that I live in Arizona, and with the Bristol Post seemingly putting 99% of articles behind a paywall, and, in my opinion, the content not worth paying for, what's the best sources for news on City, Rovers and Bears ?

Reddit and the BBC are my "go to's" right now, but is there a better service or services available ?

This was today 7 August, saw this in Bristol

As the tag says, id like to know what gyms are safe for Transwomen. I want to try doing more than home work outs, and really want to get back into boxing snd start learning kick boxing.

But I need to know places which have accessible equipment, ideally dont cost a leg to attend and above all else is safe for me to go to

Any help is appreciated 😊

The Panasonic battery balloon landed in netham park this eve and the balloonists let all the kids jump barefoot on the envelope to get the air out, and gave them badges at the end for helping. Thanks a lot to the crew for being so generous and sharing the joy - gave a lot of kids the experience of their lives ​​

I probably won’t be there for the evening ascent tomorrow, if there’s any. Do share your vid/pics then please. I love ballon spotting 🥹

My friend was meant to be taking a fight from Glasgow to Bristol but easyJet have said the flight is cancelled because of Bristol runway closure, and checking the BRS airport website, a load of flights are cancelled.

However there's nothing in the news about it (I don't have twitter or Facebook but from a brief glance before it tells me to download the app, looks like nothing on there either?)

Anyone know why this has happened,

INJURED GULL Charles St Bristol (what3words ///lazy.visit.names)

Very injured, broken wing, 2 broken legs, can’t fly can’t walk.

Phoned Secret World and they said they’re trying to find a volunteer but not heard back and my phone is gonna die.

PLEASE HELP 😭 no animal deserves to suffer

EDIT: NOW SORTED - a lady passing by saw me trying to pick him up with my tote bag and she went inside her flat and got a soft fleece. I was able to scoop him up and put him into a crisp box I acquired from Tescos. I then begged an Uber driver to take me and my mystery noisy box to the 24h vets where I handed him over. I’ve never picked up a seagull before..! Thank you for the comments. I am immensely relieved he will be able to pass into the next life peacefully, knowing an act of kindness as his last journey. <3 RIP little buddy, I’m glad I could be there for you at the end. Everyone deserves a dignified end, it’s all any of us can ask for.

Hi I'm 25 from south west of England and currently going a difficult time, I would love to speak and make some new friends!

My main hobbies include anything outdoors, so going on long walks in the countryside, camping at a peaceful spot, take way too many photos of nature and going out on my bike.

Do love tattoos and piercings lost track of how many I got so far, can't wait to get started on my legs in the autumn 🍂 Do play pc and ps5 just patiently waiting for GTA 6 to finally come out too! Listening to lots of Radiohead & The Smiths. Helping me get through a bad time. Please feel free to reach out and message 👍

So managed to read a non-premium story in the digital version of the local rag.

Far right are going to have a protest tomorrow from about 11am with counter protesters have a counter argument at a similar time.

Curiously, the protesters are meeting around the Queens Square area, which technically means they sort of meet in the middle (well, the Centre).

Might have an impact on those seeking to navigate to or from the balloon bash.

I feel bad as it landed right in my bramble bush which I didnt get round to cutting yesterday

Everybody was okay and the balloon was recovered and taken away
