Hey June! SHOP Newsletter

Friday 30th May - Saturday 14th June
7PM - 9PM 

And we're still organising that football festival: a two-week football literature, art, film and music festival, called the Festival of Football Ideas, and it will be taking place in the big silver football (The At-Bristol Planetarium)!

We're really hoping that people who don't like football aren't put off - that they view the football bit as the unifying theme, rather than as the barrier to their participation in the festival. All of the talks and performances are framed within a football context but deal with universal themes; addressing issues culturally relevant to us all.

The programme of events is over at the festival website here:
www.fofi.org.uk

Christmas Steps - A 'Great' Place

 

The Academy of Urbanism has announced 15 places voted by Academicians to progress to the next stage in the Urbanism Awards and the Christmas Steps is one of them!

Having been in the area for over 7 years and having worked closely with other traders and residents to try and raise the profile of the area and make improvements wherever possible, this was really welcome news.

The Awards, which celebrate and learn from great placemaking, cover five categories of scale, including European City of the Year and Great Town, Neighbourhood, Street and Place.

The results were announced by key speakers including Mayor George Ferguson at the Academy’s Congress Dinner, which took place aboard Brunel’s ss Great Britain.

May Newsletter: Going, Going ... But still here!

(SHOP) MAY (never be the same again) 

I step off the drain (just outside SHOP), walking down those steps again. Passed our door (18/19), but you don't work there anymore. It's days since you've been there, and now you've disappeared somewhere.
Jayne has possibly worked her last shift :-( (though might be back for a cameo here and there). You can read all about it below...

Bristol Festival of Photography on the Christmas Steps!

 

SATURDAY 3rd MAY

For the 2010 and 2012 Bristol Festival of Photography, the Christmas Steps community organised a street party, called the CSAQ Night of the Year, and this year will be no different.

Though Jayne's in Madrid, and Brett is away this weekend, we've still been helping organise things. And SHOP will be projecting a scene of the 'Spanish Steps' - see what we did there?!

Though a few businesses – who have historically been involved with the event – have moved out the area, there are still some great things happening!

This really fun street party should see the Steps buzzing with photography enthusiasts.  The main events are:

·   photo stills being beamed from various locations

·        the outdoor cinema will return, the natural amphitheatre at the top of the Steps will provide seating on the Steps themselves and the cinema will be screening cult classic Blow Up.

·        Two photography exhibitions can be found at Jenny Life Gallery and Geneva Stop.

·        There will be an outdoor bar and street food provided by Beatroot cafe.
