Friday and Saturday will include walking tours of Bristol led by Andrew Eberlin (author of ‘Brutiful Bristol’) and Elliott Sargeant (Bristol Modernist Society), which will give a chance to see the interior of The Broadmead Baptist Church (‘above the shops’) (Ronald Hubert Sims, 1969) and take in the view from the top of the Rupert Street Car Park. We will also visit the The Stradling Collection to see the Bauhaus, Breuer, Bristol exhibition.
