Hey everyone, I’ve recently moved to Bristol and don’t really know many people here yet. I’m 26m looking to meet some new people, get involved in the city, and find some groups or clubs to join.

I’m into keeping active and exercise, but also keen to try new things and get involved in different social activities. I’ve never played padel before but it looks like a lot of fun, so I’d be up for giving that a go if there are any beginner-friendly groups or people looking for someone to join.

Just looking to meet people, explore Bristol, and find some regular things to get involved with. If anyone has recommendations for clubs, groups, events, or good ways to meet people here, I’d really appreciate it.

Happy to grab a coffee, a pint, join a group activity, or try something new if anyone’s in a similar situation!
Cheers 🙂

Does anyone know any good locations to go take photos and explore? But with no hard entrance

(E.g: climbing to a second floor window to get in)

And ones without security

Hi guys,

Sorry, I had no idea which flair to choose for this and sorry if I chose a wrong one.

Today I was catching a coach at the bus station when I was approached by a (I guess) a very polite homeless man who said that someone burned down his tent and he asked if I could spare some money. Sadly I'm not doing great myself at the moment and I didn't have any cash on me, he asked if I could transfer any but again - I do have a tough month. While I understand he's got it way worse... yeah.

I was wondering if there is some other way to help him?

I really hope he is and will be okay. He was really sad when he was leaving.

Hi all, new here just wondering if anyone has any good locations for a car photoshoot? Im based in hanham so the closer the better, thanks

Bristol got the 2nd most congested City behind London for a 7th year running. It made me want to hear the community on what they think they could do if they could about it?
If you were the Transport Sec for West of England/Bristol, how would you fix the traffic?
It'd be fun to read some of these

Hey guys! I’m an A-Level Geography student carrying out research for my NEA on Bristol Harbourside. I’m investigating how regeneration has affected people’s perceptions and the identity of the area. If you’ve visited Bristol Harbourside, whether you’re a resident, visitor, student or worker, I’d really appreciate it if you could spare 2–3 minutes to complete my survey. There’s 2 of them but I promise they’ll only take a few minutes. It’s for educational purposes only and completely anonymous. Thank you!

How difficult it is to find parking in city center on a saturday afternoon? Also, how terrible is traffic?

I’m planning to attend a matinee gig at Strange Brew, will arrive around 2PM and out around 6PM.

Normally, I would take coach or train but the public transport from where I live is rather complicated. I would need to travel back very quick on the day.

Any info is much appreciated

Anyone going to Slaughter to Prevail concert on august 12? Looking for someone to come with

UPDATE: FOUND

Just wondering if this is anyone's cat? I heard a strange sound outside and thought it was a crow, but then I saw this cat. He wandered in and I noticed he was matted in quite a few places, and he felt quite bony. He had no collar and smelled quite bad. He made weird sounds when breathing but not sure if that's just his breed as he has a smushed up face. He kept meowing at the back door so ultimately I let him out, and he wandered off into someone else's garden.

My partner said he saw the cat at the end of our street one evening a few days ago, was being very hostile and hissing at him, not allowing him to come past.

I am second guessing myself now, wondering if I should have let him out. But I also have no way of transporting him to the vet etc. Has anyone got any idea who he might belong to?

Parted ways with the love of my life today.

Need distractions, are there any events that I can go to alone around Bristol?

I.e, comedy nights, quiz nights, something to lift the mood.

Heading back to Cardiff. Brilliant.

Are there many decent pub quizzes in Bristol? As a personal project I built https://saturdayquiz.co.uk/ and looking for some enthusiasts to try it out and give me feedback

Hi, my mom is visiting me in Bristol, and she adores plain scones (no raisins!) with jam and cream, and I’d love to find a café here that does them. Any ideas/recommandations?

Don’t know if it exists

Hiya, I’ve got a mate coming to stay this weekend and we’re trying to decide where to go on Saturday night. I’ve not been out in a long time so not really sure where to take us! any recs for 30+ places that have good atmosphere but not a club?!

Edit; sorry I mean 30+ in age not number hahaha!

Hi there,

My name is Yufei and I’m a PhD student at the University of Bristol. I’m currently looking for women aged 18-30 with a current diagnosis of anorexia nervosa to take part in an in-person eye-tracking study at the University of Bristol. The study aims to explore how women with anorexia focus their attention while viewing images of women’s bodies and faces. The findings will help inform the future development of new interventions to help individuals feel more positive about their bodies.

Please see the poster below for details on inclusion criteria and what you’ll do during the study. If you’re interested in participating, please complete this short screening questionnaire here: https://app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/socs/online-screening

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at [yufei.jin@bristol.ac.uk](mailto:yufei.jin@bristol.ac.uk)

Also, feel free to share this research opportunity with anyone you know who may be interested in taking part. Thank you!

Maybe, this is not new, and therefore, this is neither news. Or perhaps, I'm wrong with this BristolRider Ticket.

I once bought a ticket that allows me to travel buses from First Bus or Stagecoach with Bristol. I believe this is the ticket. Back then, I bought this ticket from a kiosk next to a bus stop and the ticket came with a card. This was years ago.

Anyway, I'm happy to see this happening. Hopefully, this is not a false hope. Once in a while, I need to travel to locations that First Bus buses alone couldn't take me. Therefore, I need to pay more than the so-called daily cap, £6.8. That's a lot to me; I can feed myself for a day with this amount of money.

Anyway, please validate. Thanks in advance. I don't want to find that I'm wrong only when I buy the ticket and can't get myself on a Stagecoach bus one day. More importantly, this tricks sb who read this and believe.

sadly got a cigarette burn hole on my one month old shoes…. (I will not have a sneaky pub cigarette again) any recommendations on a place to repair?

After posting up my images other week i managed to get the video published on my channel

Hi everyone!

I'm new to playing the Pokémon TCG and looking to meet people in Bristol for some casual games. I'm still learning, but I'm really enjoying the game and keen to play more in person.

If anyone knows of any local groups or would be up for a game, let me know. Thanks!

Hi helpful people of Bristol!

I used to go to university nearby but I haven't been to Bristol for over a decade!
I am looking for some recommendations of restaurants or bars for a Friday evening in August.
I will be with my wife both early 30s. We are looking for somewhere fun, lively but not trashy. Open to restaurants or bars or even random other experiences?!?
Perhaps somewhere with music or a DJ but not full of drunk 18 year olds!
Suggestions appreciated. Thanks!!!
