All roads led to Ashton Gate this weekend as tens of thousands of ticket holders prepared to watch two quarter-finals in the Women’s Rugby World Cup – with England coming to town on Sunday.
It may have been a week ago, but people living around Victoria Park in the south of the city are not likely to forget the Krazy Races event in a hurry.
At Cribbs, staff have been preparing for the ‘greatest dog show on earth’ as the various sculptures that were part of the Gromit Unleashed 3 trail are now assembled together before being sold.
And a special reading challenge involving thousands of pupils in South Gloucestershire schools has come to an end.
Off the wall: Hundreds of people gathered in Victoria Park last Sunday to watch the Krazy Races event, which saw many an eye-catching kart racing around between the trees. The event raised £20,000 for charities in Bristol.
Book time: More than 5,500 children from schools across South Gloucestershire read an incredible 85,000 books between them as part of the 2025 Sumer Reading Challenge run by the council.
Ground level: A new artwork called Our Common Ground – created by a team led by artist Oshii – is on its way to being completed in the city centre, where the fountains used to be. The art is being commissioned by Bristol City Council, the Bristol City Centre Business Improvement District and curated by the Bristol Legacy Foundation and Upfest.
Up for the cup: People have been taking part in crochet classes at places like St George’s Hall, making red roses to show their support for England’s rugby players as the women’s tournament comes to the city.
