BRISTOL DOORS OPEN DAY 2004

Saturday 11th September 2004
10.00 – 16.00

Doors Open Day is your chance to see inside some of Bristol's most fascinating and historically important buildings, many of which are not normally open to the general public.

There is the usual eclectic mix - with over 60 venues ranging from the third century to the twenty first; from a Georgian mansion to a humble dock worker's cottage; from a Victorian graveyard to a modern sewage plant; from 100 feet up to two floors down!

In particular architects, and others, will be delighted to learn that the 1930s Concrete House is back after several years absence; the Colston Hall, besides giving tours behind the scenes, is also mounting a display of the current Levitt Bernstein plans for Bristol's new Concert Hall; and Grimshaw's eye-catching RAC HQ is again offering tours.

And as well as other 20th Century examples, there is a wealth of some of Bristol's finest Edwardian, Victorian, Georgian and earlier architecture to choose from.

To find out more pick up a brochure from the Architecture Centre, the Tourist Information Centre, your local library and nearer the day from the venues themselves; or go to the City Council website: www.bristol-city.gov.uk
