This is Bristol

Homes in Totterdown were opened up to visitors as the area held its annual weekend art trail called Front Room.

Artists displayed and performed their work in their own houses, with sitting rooms, kitchens and gardens turned into galleries.

The programme featured painting, music, poetry, dance, photography, sculpture, drawing, installation art and wood turning.

There was even a decorated wheelie bin competition and a 7ft tall sculpture, called the Plight of the Bumble Bee, decorated by pupils at Hillcrest Primary School, on land next to St Luke's Road.

Organisers also included live music, children's activities, apple pressing and dancing, with the Lord Mayor of Bristol, Chris Davies, the VIP guest.
