As everything else this year in Bristol, the RedFest is also under the slogan Green Capital.
To cap this off, in 2015, we have the unique opportunity to reap the fruits of our great Bristol’s achievement to be the first UK city to win the prestigious Green Capital of Europe Award. We, as proud Bristolians, have the chance to be part of the great effort put up by our fellow citizens and businesses to create Britain’s most livable, healthiest and happiest city.
