Wednesday 4th December 2024

4pm - 8pm 

Travelling to the Festival

Please help us to reduce the congestion to a minimum by walking to the Festival or arriving by bike. Henleaze Road gets very congested due to the amount of traffic and pedestrians using it. There will also be very limited parking in the side roads due to road closures. Wherever you park, please be considerate to the residents.

Lost Children/First Aid

There will be a Lost Children and First Aid point in Cardigan Road beside Santa`s Grotto.

Lost Property

Please give any lost or found property to anyone with a Henleaze Christmas Festival Hi-Viz tabard.

Disabled Parking

We have again included a special disabled parking area to add further facilities on the night for Blue Badge holders. We are grateful to St Peter`s Church for making their car park in The Drive available where up to eight spaces will be allocated. A marshal will be on duty to offer assistance.

Rubbish

Bristol City Council insist that we have recycling bins as part of our licence. Please use them, they will be situated in prominent places e.g. by food outlets. If they are not used it could jeopardise our licence for future years. Please remember that the Festival team of volunteers cannot go home until all the rubbish is cleared. So your co-operation would be greatly appreciated.

Security

We have employed Security staff who will be present throughout the festival period and will be wearing Hi-Viz jackets. Should you have any security concerns i.e. suspicious persons or a package, please notify one of the Security staff immediately. Alternatively seek advice from any of the festival organisers - wearing the Hi-Viz Festival tabard. Remember to keep well clear of the threat.

Bus Stop Henleaze Road

As in previous years we will be applying to close the bus stop near Parsons Bakery and have a temporary bus stop outside of Costa for the duration of the Festival.
