Bristol in pictures: Mary Poppins and circus nights

It's not quite panto season (oh no it isn't), but Mary Poppins has been packing them in at the Hippodrome. The show features a local actor making his hometown debut.

The city fell silent to observe Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day, while elsewhere there was a warning about future threats to the planet.

They're gearing up for a unique circus show later this month at Circomedia, while two creatives are celebrating Bristol's many unique venues.

All this and more is in our weekly image round-up.

Magic of music: Ezra Collective played to enthusiastic crowds at Bristol Beacon this week, as the venue counts down to a year since it reopened.

Cracking Christmas Gromit: Based on the workshop run by Aardman Animations character Wallace, A Cracking Christmas Experience opened on Saturday in the Friary Building at Cabot Circus. Made by Bristol theatrical creatives Bakehouse, the immersive experience is open until Christmas Eve.

Lest we forget: Many people paused to observe a two minutes' silence for Armistice Day on Monday. They stopped to reflect at the cenotaph in the city centre, on buses and even in supermarkets.

Swinging into action: The Decadent Rabbit Cabaret are warming up for what has billed as an extravaganza at Circomedia at the end of November, for those who like to avoid the panto in favour of something with more of a circus theme.

It's coming home: Representatives of Visit West, Ashton Gate Stadium, Bristol Bears and Women's Rugby World Cup 2025 gathered at Temple Meads - which got given a new name for a day - to launch the campaign for ticket applications for the tournament.

Incredible effort: Care home residents crocheted nearly 3,800 individual poppies to create a 'waterfall' to mark Remembrance Sunday. Residents of John Wills House in north Bristol, run by St Monica Trust, spent much of the past five months making the poppies, which were hand-sewn to a football goal suspended from the care home's first-floor window.

A warning: The performers known as the Red Rebel Brigade appeared in various Bristol locations this week to highlight the call for action on climate change, as world leaders gathered in Baku for the United Nations COP 29 conference.

Art is everywhere: Some of the stations on the Severn Beach Line, which takes passengers through the city from Bristol Temple Meads all the way out to the banks of the River Severn, have colourful murals, such as this one at Stapleton Road.
