Now you see him, now you don't

Illusionist Derren Brown returned to Bristol on Sunday night to perform unannounced at the Tobacco Factory in Southville. Brown studied at Bristol University and lived in Clifton after graduating in 1994.

He was third on the bill at the Raleigh Road theatre to fellow magicians Peter Clifford and Peter Wardell.

Recently we've had Peter Andre at Asda, Derren Brown at the 'Baccy Factory, who's next? Cheryl Cole at the Spotted Cow!

Southville Carnival - but strings attached

On Sunday 6 September the streets around the Tobacco Factory in Southville will come alive with the sights, sounds and smells of the first ever Creatures of Southville Carnival.

This is the finale of the Bristol Festival of Puppetry. So look out for all types of creatures winding their way through the streets of Southville in a party of colour, music and song. More details on the Tobacco Factory's website.
