So, spring is making an appearance in the city of Bristol and many locals are making
00:06
the most of the sunny weather to get out of the house. But what is on in the city of Bristol?
00:11
Well, to start off, St Mary Redcliffe Church are offering guided tours. Charlie, tell us
00:16
more about that.
00:17
So that's right, Emma. St Mary Redcliffe Church, which is right in the heart of the city, they're
00:22
offering these special tours. Now, the venue has over 800 years of history and is known
00:28
as one of England's most prestigious churches, and that's due to its impressive Gothic architecture
00:35
and a history that spans centuries. And so St Mary Redcliffe is not just a Gothic masterpiece,
00:42
but it's also a highly diverse parish in one of the most deprived areas of Bristol, and
00:48
it's home to a growing inclusive congregation. Now, this parish church has stood for over
00:56
The current generation of St Mary Redcliffe Church is a diverse community, old and young,
01:01
rich and poor, Bristol born and migrants to the city, Redcliffe through and through and newcomers
01:08
to the church. It's very diverse in ethnic backgrounds and cultural identity and in
01:13
relationships and family circumstances with varying levels of understanding and need.
01:20
Thank you, Charlie. So it's certainly a very impressive building and it offers locals lots
01:26
of tours and a good opportunity to learn all about its history. So shall we move on to
01:30
the theatre scene in the city? So Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake is visiting the Bristol
01:35
Hippodrome as part of their touring circuit.
01:38
Yes, so the ballet is coming to the city and lots of people are talking about it. Matthew
01:44
Bourne's audacious, rule-breaking reinvention of this masterpiece caused a sensation when it first
01:52
premiered 30 years ago now, and it's become the most successful dance theatre production of all
01:58
time. It's creating new audiences and inspiring generations of young dancers, and in celebration
02:06
of that ongoing impact, Swan Lake will take flight once more in a major new revival for the next
02:13
generation of dancers and for audiences who will be experiencing some of them for the very first time.
02:22
Thank you very much, Charlie. That sounds great. So let's move on to the art scene. Paperworks is
02:27
the RWA's exhibition. It's been open since January, so tell me a little bit about that.
02:33
Yes, paperworks. So this is all about paper and creative ways of displaying it, but the paper is
02:40
often under different guises, from handmade paper to Japanese tissue, paper mache and paper pull.
02:48
All these different types are featured in this exciting exhibition. The art in it ranges from
02:56
charcoal drawings to hangings.
