1. Take a walk through the German Christmas markets in Broadmead – it’s open until December 29.

2. Get involved with the Front Room Art Trail across Totterdown from Friday until Sunday this week. Entry is free - visit www.frontroom.org.uk for more info. Bristol’s oldest art trail takes on a wild theme as creative residents open their doors and showcase their skills in their front rooms. Following the success of the first event held in 2001 the community has delivered a three-day extravaganza of art, theatre, poetry, film, crafts and music. Thousands of visitors are expected to visit the 180 artists registered at more than 60 different venues.
3. Catch singer-songwriter Joan Armatrading at Colston Hall on Tuesday at 7.30pm.
