What's on in Victoria Park

Victoria Park sits on the edge of Bristol and is handy for a quick walk before the rain starts to fall. The Barrel House has been hosting gigs long enough to know exactly when the crowd gets rowdy, while the Royal West of England Academy shows off art that makes you think twice about your own interior decor. It is not difficult to find a reason to stay out late without needing an excuse. Local theatre groups often use the space for rehearsals that spill into the streets with enough noise to wake the neighbours. You can usually spot a film screening or a community workshop nearby if you know where to look. Near Here keeps track of what is on so you do not have to waste time hunting through flyers in a bin.
