New twinning signpost on College Green!

Bristol’s seven twinnings have a new public artwork as a visible reminder of the streetscapes of all our partner cities! 

It was decided some years ago that the twinnings should be celebrated with a signpost on College Green (as a sister installation to the one at Bristol’s Mansion House) in front of City Hall, where the flags of the seven countries can also frequently be seen flying.

The celebration ceremony is to take place on April 25th, in the presence of the Lord Mayor, who is President of all the twinnings, Mayor Rees and members of the Bristol International Twinnings Association (BITA) and the Guild of Guardians, who funded the signpost’s design and creation.

Bristol’s International Strategy Board and Bristol International Ambassadors will also be represented. The Secretary of BITA, Ann Kennard, and the artist who designed the artwork, Steve Joyce, will be interviewed on BBC Radio Bristol on Friday 19th April at 3.30 p.m.
