Pecha Kucha Night returns with fresh offerings
After a triumphant return following a four-year hiatus last autumn, Pecha Kucha Night is returning to Bristol with a fresh lineup of eight distinguished speakers.

Each presentation consists of 20 slides, with each slide shown for 20 seconds, resulting in a 6-minute and 40-second presentation.
