Bristol in Pictures: Dance like everyone's watching

Surfers against Sewage held a protest against water pollution in Bristol on Saturday
- Published
Taking part has been a theme of this week, from the Big Bristol Run on Sunday to the Grand Appeal's Wallace & Gromit Wrong Trousers Day on Friday.
There was disappointment but pride for Bristol City Fans as their season came to an end on Monday, and events galore across the city.
Here are just some of the images showing life in Bristol this week.

Standing ovation: Songs of the Bulbul by Aakash Odedra has been the latest dance show to pack out The Mount Without on St Michael's Hill, a performance space created in the inside of a former church (below).




Great strides: People across the city donned some eye-catching legwear on Friday for the Wallace & Gromit's Wrong Trousers Day, which supports the Grand Appeal, the dedicated charity for Bristol Children's Hospital. Let's take a moment to savour these bold fashion choices.

Keeping the faith: Although the odds were stacked against their team, plenty of Bristol City Fans queued to get into the Sports Bar at Ashton Gate on Monday to see the Robins take on Sheffield United in the second leg of their play-off tie.

Roll up, roll up: East Street was the place to be for street food on Saturday as the eat:Bedminster market returned.

Get involved: Bristol youth empowerment organisation, Babbasa, has launched a new appeal called CloseTheGap to tackle the current youth unemployment crisis. Babbasa estimates that in the city there are some 10,000 young people, external currently not in education, employment or training.

Lovely day for it: The fine weather meant Gloucestershire's match with Kent at the County Ground in Bristol could get under way with plenty of short sleeves on show.

Great effort: The 13-strong team from St Peter's Hospice that took on the AJ Bell Great Bristol Run last Sunday raised more than £4,000 for the charity.

Paying it back: Also running last Sunday was Bristol student Leah Mainwaring, 22, who raised money for Ronald McDonald House Charities UK. It provides free 'home away from home' accommodation for families with children in hospital, and Leah and her family appreciated their support when she spent time in intensive care in 2016.

Connections: Community Interest Company Tech4Good South West has marked a year since being launched. Over the past 12 months, it has built a community of 80 people and £27,000 has been raised and schemes such as the Bath Digital Divide Collective launched.

High hopes: Two students from Fairfield High School in Horfield, Moss and Freddy, have excelled for the Bristol Flyers basketball under-16s team and now hope to make the jump to the under-18s.

And finally: Just one more from the brilliant Wrong Trousers day efforts from across Bristol.
