Read why I’m so optimistic that the Bristol Metro Service including our much awaited Portishead link will be a reality by 2018! Plus a new video revealing highlights of the train journey ALMOST as far as Portishead, filmed at last week’s Community Rail Festival.
Special Occasions & School Holiday Inspiration
Today First Great Western is putting on a Community Rail Festival, providing a special service which will transport an exclusive group of passengers from Bristol Temple Meads to Portbury – just for one day. Whilst collecting for a number of charities on the day, the Festival also aims to promote the achievements of Community Rail Partnerships throughout the UK.
This all sounds quite encouraging for our own line. Could this indicate another step towards the Portishead railway link?
This year’s Clevedon Marine Lake Festival is set to be the best ever. The annual free festival, taking place on Saturday 15th & Sunday 16th September, promises great entertainment for the whole family.
As a Bristolian the Balloon Fiesta has been a part of the local summer scene for many years. We’ll certainly be taking our boys along.
As well as the Night Glow, Special Shapes and Mass Ascents, this year young festival goers can enjoy a dedicated Kids Zone plus special appearances from Transformers’ Optimus Prime.
And apart from the parking charges, it’s still FREE!
Let the stories begin! Children aged from four to 12 and their parents or carers are invited to their local North Somerset library to an imaginative adventure that will keep them reading throughout the school summer holidays. Every child who reads six books and completes the challenge receives a certificate and medal and can also be entered into a prize draw to win one of thirty junior swim cards to be used at leisure pools in North Somerset!
