<strong>Bristol</strong> Ferry Boat Co<br />
Throughout the winter their RED Hotwells service is out on the<br />
water daily – departures start at 10.30am from the city centre and<br />
Temple Meads. Their blue service is out on the water at weekends<br />
only with departures from Temple Meads starting from 10.10am.<br />
Their ferries are like a bus (a waterbus even), so use them to jump<br />
on and get to your favourite attraction, cafe, restaurant, pub, place<br />
of work or to enjoy a circular tour enjoying the great sights and<br />
sounds of the historic harbour. There’s lots to see – swans, geese, a<br />
whole array of unusual boats of varying shapes and sizes, St Mary<br />
Redcliffe’s spire, Cabot Tower, stunning views towards Ashton<br />
Court and Clifton – a vista feast in fact! See also entry on page 26.<br />

Festival<br />
eat cheese<br />
Sunday 30 January, 10am-4pm, Welsh Back<br />
If you like cheese (and, let’s face it, who<br />
doesn’t?), then you’ll have made your way<br />
to Glassboat’s irresistibly moreish Eat Cheese<br />
festival last winter. (<strong>Shipshape</strong>, heavily<br />
pregnant at the time, wept through the whole<br />
thing, unable to sample many of the stinky<br />
delights on offer.) Well, they’re at it again,<br />
and this time they’ve invited along the West<br />
Country’s finest cheesemongers (including<br />
Trethowan’s, who we’ve talked to over<br />
on page 5) to show off their wares. Find<br />
demonstrations, chutneys, woodwork, livestock,<br />
games, competitions and a ‘taste off’ battle<br />
between three well-known local producers. Live<br />
music, canon-firing fun from The Matthew and<br />
an all-round party atmosphere will complete<br />
this lactose loving day.<br />
