Our home city of Bristol undeniably has so much to explore!

When the Bristol Light Festival launched in 2020, we were thrilled to see a spark of magic brightening the city in winter. Not only was this an exciting addition to Bristol’s cultural scene, but we also had the opportunity to work alongside Bristol BID, the creators of the festival, who sought a reliable staffing partner to provide a team of stewards for city center crowd control. From that moment onward, we’ve proudly stood by them.

Bristol Light Festival saw many firsts, including international artists bringing their visions to life on Bristol’s streets. For instance, Real Hackney Dave’s vibrant “Bristol Is Always A Good Idea” sign at Temple Meads and This Is Loop’s 40-meter audio-visual sculpture, Pulse, were standout pieces that transformed the city. Each installation illuminated Bristol in ways that left our team in awe as they managed the areas.

Additionally, collaborations with local businesses like Left Handed Giant’s Vivid Beams brew and The Granary’s special menu offerings contributed to making the event an unforgettable experience for many. Overall, these local partnerships, together with the festival’s artistic offerings, turned this event into a spectacular occasion for all.

One of the unique perks of being a steward at the Bristol Light Festival was the opportunity to experience the event up close and personal. Across the 10 days of the event, our stewards at the Bristol Light Festival were not just passive observers; they actively contributed to the success of the event. Our team was poised to assist as the first point of contact for over 275,000 visitors, providing information about the installations and distributing city maps which highlighted the installation trail.  

Through rain or shine, our team were instrumental in the success of the Bristol Light Festival, ensuring crowd safety and satisfaction. 

Bristol Light Festival provided some much-needed magic to close off winter here in the city. We’re already looking forward to next year!
