What’s On in Bristol – Students’ Guide (Events, Shopping, Eating Out, Local Media)

At the school we have a Social Programme of three activities per week, where one of the teachers will take you to do some kind of activity (musical, sporting, cultural, etc.) and which you can do FREE! However, you don’t have to wait for us to take you there! One of the best ways of improving your English is to do something that interests you.

In other words, do your hobbies in English.

Have a look through this site at some of the activities we have done, and please share your photos with us too!
