It did feel quite modern - though I guess their thinking is the type of rides they have - like the classic, simpler rides rather than the loud ones you see at a lot of them these days. The rain was horrendous during they day so really wasn't surprised it was so quiet in the evening.

It was raining all day on this day - it stopped about an hour before

It's such a special place - it was 80% new installations this year so very different from previous years too.

I'd feel the same but I guess *most* people would only use it if they knew how to roller skate (at least I'd hope so). Definitely one I'll be spectating on rather than participating! 😊

I loved the projection onto the castle - it went on for much longer than I showed too. It felt like they've put a lot of thought into accessibility this year too with things at different heights etc.

I think its the beginnings of what could be a fab event if it gets enough support this year for it to come back, it's something a little bit different at Christmas - nice to have something new 😁

@@JessesGrandDaysOut Hopefully this new Bristol Christmas village will remain in future years, it would be interesting and entertaining if I get to know it in real life soon! Have a nice evening, Jesse! 😄

It felt like there were more craft stalls this year but I could very easily be imagining it (it's in the same space as last year). The talking Elk is always a fun little addition, catch it at the right moment and it sings 🤣

@@JessesGrandDaysOut I would love to hear the talking moose sing haha! 😂

Maybe Santa's fallen off the wagon 🤣 Their used to be a super sized one in Cabot Circus, I'm so glad this one is no more. It's a really nice sized market - no duplicates and lots of craft stalls. 😊

Thanks Darren, my camera doesn't do it justice really, it looks even better in real life. 😊

It's definitely a magical experience. 😊

Thanks Martin, totally agree - I can't even imagine how long it would take to set up.

Nice Darts 😄😄😄

It's worth a look if you're in the area or as an odd on to the market. 😊 Thank you so much for subscribing!

That's the one, thanks Darren - it's been bugging me since Tuesday! 😁 Thank you so much for sharing too!

@JessesGrandDaysOut your welcome 🙏

It's a bit different from what everyone else is doing too with the roller rink and VR sleigh experience! It's small but a nice compliment to the market. (run by the same company)

@JessesGrandDaysOut We visited this yesterday evening when we were in town. I liked the giant bauble. It was much less busy than the other bit in Broadmead. 😊

Yes, it was much quieter when I went too 😊

I agree, it's so nice to have something to compliment the market (it's actually run by the same company who run the market and they're not far from each other so makes a fab little extra). It's also nice to see some of the castle remains illuminated. Merry Christmas Paul!

Thanks Paul, it has a lovely selection of stalls, rides and food 😊

Thank you 😊

I think it surprises me every year - I work near cabot circus so walk past the market most days at this time of year and it always takes me by surprise how much is here when you actually take a look through it.

@@JessesGrandDaysOut I agree Bristol is a great place to shop & eat @ Christmas and other parts of the year.

I totally agree 😊

Thanks Faith, I think the Thomas one is a me a ride too. 😊

I've been going to more recently, still haven't quite got the courage to actually go on anything though 🤣 - this one had a really lovely atmosphere.

@@JessesGrandDaysOut Ah, nice one - with all those visits it's only a matter of time before you climb on board.

hehe, I can't take the credit for the pun, it's a great name they've chosen for the event though. It's a lovely little railway with lots of different events throughout the year 😊

@@JessesGrandDaysOut A good name I'd say. Good to hear it's busy yearly.

Totally agree, the murals on the rides must take hours and hours to paint. I get tempted by some of them and then rapidly change my mind - maybe one day 🤣

Thanks Louise! 😊

I had limited time and didn't want to go without my hot chocolate hehe 🤣 The flapjack is so nice (it's huge - I'm still nibbling away at it 😊) Thanks faith, it's a really fab place and market.

Thank you so much Christy! 🎄

Thank you Sharon, it's such a beautiful market 🎄

There's definitely lots of scents in the air - surprisingly they don't really mix together so it's very pleasant 😊 There is, Bristol's market is quite small in comparison, they've got a couple of spin off events this year too.

@@JessesGrandDaysOut Christmas markets are something beautiful, isn´t it! Will you be showing the Bristol market too with its few spin-off events as you call it, Jesse?! 😇🎄

I'm hoping too - it's partly weather dependent. 😊

@@JessesGrandDaysOut Let's hope for good weather! Have a nice weekend and a nice 2nd Advent, Jesse! 🙂🙏

Thanks Darren, it's a really lovely market - even if just going for a wander 😊

Thank you so much Louise, I think the Bath Christmas Market is my favourite of the Christmas markets - Bath refuses to do them the way the larger ones do and does it in a way which is uniquely Bath and full of charm 🥰 The Flapjackery flapjack is lush - I stopped as knew you liked them and the guy was so friendly I couldn't resist buying one 😁

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much Paul. I was visiting train stations earlier in the day but went the other way along the Wocestershire and Birmingham Canal towards Bourneville but I'll definitely be checking out Moor St at some point. To be fair (hehe) I've never heard so many screams coming from those rides before! 😬

I had to wait till I got back to the coach station - all the ones in the market itself had alcohol in (which I don't drink), but it was worth the wait - I think it was the nicest Starbucks hot chocolate I've had 🤣

This is very true, though if you can keep your eyes open the views are there 🤣 The tree on the hut always makes me smile - Bristol has something similar, though it's on top of one of the sausage huts. 😁

I agree, a lot of the Christmas markets are copy and paste and aren't really worth special visits - if you want the festive boost you can get the same from your local Christmas market as you can from one further away. There are a few exceptions, one I visited today is much more craft orientated, lots of things to try and has an amazing atmosphere with musicians dotted around but I fear these are few and far between. Thank you so much for your comment!

Thanks Darren, yes - it has lots of things to do for everyone 😁

Oh my the fair, I don't think I've heard that many screams from 2 rides! 🤣🤣🤣 I sourced a hot chocolate from Starbucks in the coach station, it did the trick! 😊

Thanks Martin, though I had a habit of going very quiet on more than one occasion 🤣. I've been a few times over the last year or two - explored the canals earlier in the day and they are fab! I think the clock stall was my favourite - I so wanted them all to be set to the same time but alas they weren't. I don't think I've heard those kind of screams coming from Air before, not for me!

Bristol Zoo Project is very different from their closed Clifton site - I can't wait to see it when it's fully transformed (the Gorilla area opens next year). I think it's going to have a completely different ethos - huge (150 acres) and more focused on conservation. 😁

Thanks Faith, I think along with penguins red pandas are my favourite. The trail definitely adds something fun and different to the zoo. 😊

Thank you so much, I've only really recently discovered them - love how they're so picturesque and flat! I have a plan to visit the Bridgwater canal next year. So cool you get to actually use the canals with your boat 😊

They really are, they're transforming it from a 50 acre site to 153 acres - it's going to be huge once it's fully transformed with a focus on conservation too.

Thanks Faith, the tythe barn is fab, I was so impressed by it!

Thank you so much Jilly, the aqueducts are so impressive - it's so odd to see a bridge with flowing water running over the top of a river and railway. 😊

Thanks Martin, I'm pretty sure they were 3 different heron's but you never know. One of the cyclists mentioned as I was filming the second one that it was the second one he'd seen 😁 It's really flat and easy going, apart from the initial slope in Bath it doesn't go up any hills - it's probably the easiest, most relaxing long distance walk I've done.

It's larger than I remember it being 😁

Avoncliff is a very quaint little station and the aqueducts are really impressive - they're used to so the canal stays flat and can avoid having to use locks for large parts. Maybe the line will be electrified one day but it's expensive to do so and foot bridges have a habit of getting in the way, I guess the aqueducts might pose a bit of a problem too!

@@JessesGrandDaysOut Thank you very much for your friendly and honest answer between electrifiying the railway! Have a great weekend, my friend Jesse! 😊🤝

Thanks Darren, it's a really pretty walk 😊

Thanks Faith, so much colour and light! Hot chocolate is the best way to finish an evening 😊

Thanks Martin, I cranked some settings in DaVinci Resolve for the worst effected bits but it couldn't fix the flickering lights (though the paid version might have been able to). Totally agree about how long it must take to put the carts together. Enjoy the Wells Carnival - I'm sure it'll be equally good 😊

@JessesGrandDaysOut I've also had the flickering problem with some of my videos when shooting led lights. I read it's something to do with the frame rate you are using. I usually film in 60fps. 👍👍

I've seen this too - only seemed to effect some carts (I film at 60 fps too)

Thank you so much Darren, I'm usually the same and avoid crowds wherever I can but I make an exception for this carnival. Though even then I head to spaces where there's more open space where I'm not boxed in.
