This weekend will see many streets in the centre of Bristol closed to traffic and taken over by markets and more organised mayhem.

Today is Bristol’s biggest ever market day, with Bristol’s Big Market featuring more than 200 stalls selling everything from locally made artisan produce to vintage curios, arts and crafts.

There will also be buskers and entertainment and a number of themed areas, including a Mr Wolf’s music stage in the street food area on St Stephen’s Street hosted by the Bristol Eats collective.
