Welcome to the new Bristol Culture.

Much of what you are reading is exactly the same as when Bristol Culture was a blog and everything written since those early days of 2009 remain.

But you will also find lots of exciting new features, including an interactive map of everywhere in Bristol that we have reviewed, categorised into cafes, pubs and bars, restaurants and shops.

There is an improved events section, comments that you can scroll to see, more visual content and hopefully an all-round better experience.

So please have a look around. Put your feet up and make yourself at home.

While you’re here, please do sign up for updates, which now means you will soon receive a regular newsletter with exclusive content such as competitions and special offers.

If you have any queries, criticisms or concerns, please do let me know, either by email, martin@bristol-culture.com, or via Twitter, @bristol_culture.

Best wishes and thanks for reading,

Martin Booth
