Celebrate Bristol Legends with us

By Bristol24/7  Thursday Jan 29, 2026

More details have been revealed ahead of Bristol24/7’s Bristol Legends event.

Since launching the project in October 2025, Bristol24/7, with input from over 1,600 of our readers and 48 expert panellists, has been unearthing the real Bristol Legends.

Our celebration of the people and organisations that make Bristol the wonderful place that we know and love will be culminating on a not-to-be-be missed event spotlighting the city’s businesses, venues, community groups, innovators, creatives, activists and it’s many amazing communities.

EatDrink24/7 Launch Party is back on July 8 2026!
Exclusive collabs from Bristol’s favourite food vendors, available for one night only. Be first to grab your free copy of the EatDrink24/7 guide – plus every ticket comes with a free limited-edition beer can.

This year’s Bristol Legends celebration will culminate at our first-of-its-kind awards event on March 6, starting at 6pm.

Our host for the evening will be the one and only Jayde Adams

Taking over and transforming the stadium and its concourse, the night, hosted by the one and only Jayde Adams, will feature a three-course dinner from Josh Eggleton and other top local chefs, awards and mini-documentaries recognising our Bristol Legends shortlist and winners as well as some surprises and unexpected guests of legends past and present.
