Bump In The Night

Bristol City Centre

Spooky stories steeped in Bristol history will come to life with a parade of illuminated giant puppets starting in Broadmead and finishing at Queen Square.

Upcoming Workshops

This Halloween, you are invited to celebrate Bristol’s historical and cultural heritage through a spectacular Bump in the Night Lantern Parade on Sunday 30 October. Inspired by spooky stories of ghosts and giants, the parade of illuminated puppets will travel from Broadmead to Queen Square.  It is being delivered as one of the activities under the City Centre and High Streets Recovery and Renewal programme, funded by Bristol City Council and the West of England Combined Authority’s Love our High Street project.

To help bring these giant lanterns to life, workshops aimed at all ages and skill levels will be held in October at Bristol Old Vic, The Galleries and Bristol Old City and will include family-friendly half-term dates.
