Performers, artists and craftspeople reflecting Bristol’s diversity are being invited to help mark Bristol Zoo Gardens’ 175th anniversary next year.
Organisers are seeking groups and individuals from across the city to take part in a day of celebrations at the Zoo next summer. The event will take the form of a village fete – but for the entire city and with all Bristol’s various communities represented in some way, from music and dancing to arts and crafts.
Up to 30 stands will be set up around the Zoo grounds and throughout the day there will be performances from local singers, musicians and dancers on stage and around the grounds. There will also be a chance for visitors to get involved in workshops.
Karen Dunne-Squire, operations director of organisers Select Outsourcing Solutions, said: “We are looking for talented groups and individuals to perform and run workshops. It could be a choir or dance troupe, a team of flame throwing scouts or a graffiti artist with a portable wall.
“Whether they can perform for 10 minutes or two hours we want to hear from them.”
Any individuals or groups interested should contact Karen on karen@selectoutsourcingsolutions.com
The first 30 acts to submit their applications will be offered free tickets to attend the live BBC broadcast for Children in Need this Friday at Bristol Zoo.
