In a
departure from the Christmas Steps Arts
Quarter’s usual celebration of all things Christmas (due to our fantastically
festive name), The Steps will be hosting an Easter Artisan Market on Easter
Saturday, the 7th April, from 11am – 4pm.
To well and
truly banish all thoughts of Christmas in the lovely spring season, there will
be a fun Easter egg hunt for all visitors
to the market to get involved in. Easter
eggs will be hidden on the Artisan’s stalls waiting to be discovered and then
scoffed!
But of
course, the main attraction as always will be the Artisans themselves and their amazing
wares cascading down the historic Christmas Steps. Expect: local produce, handmade jewellery,
original artwork, cross-stitching and home-wares amongst many, many other
lovely things.
There
will also be: lots of bunting, buskers, great atmosphere, and a unique and
beautiful site in a city centre location with many sympathetic traders and
businesses in the vicinity, as well as great places to eat and drink.
The markets are organised entirely voluntarily and as well as being a quality showcase for Artisans in the heart of an independent arts-led shopping area
- it is a real community event.
So –
remember, don’t head to the high-street
for Easter treats, support your local independent makers!
When was the last time you took a walk down a different street?
The Christmas Steps Arts Quarter consists of eight unique streets in Bristol's
old city, lined with independent shops, art galleries, bars, cafes and more
than a few surprises, where artisans and creative traders work side by side to
keep this diverse corner of Bristol as unusual as it's been throughout its long
and intriguing history.
