00:00Bristol is a very busy city and with the warm weather comes loads of lovely things to do
00:07in and around the city. For those dance lovers, the Birmingham Royal Ballet is performing
00:14Cinderella at the Bristol Hippodrome as part of their touring circuit. But what does this
00:19magical story entail? Adriana, tell me more.
00:23Yes, that is right, Emma. Sir David Benley's Cinderella is a surefire mix of wonderful dance,
00:29spectacular scenery and a cast of characters that include mice, lizards and even a dancing frog.
00:37Something to capture every imagination. The prestigious ballet company is known for their
00:42incredible dancers and creatives. As part of this tale, locals can step into the magical world of
00:48Cinderella, where fairy godmothers triumph over cruel stepmothers, pumpkins turn into
00:54sparkling carriages and a jewel slipper changes one young woman's life forever. This timeless
01:02story of love, courage and kindness reminds us all to have faith in our wildest dreams.
01:08One day they might just come true.
01:10Oh, that sounds like a really lovely one for ballet lovers in and around the city of Bristol.
01:16So let's move on to water sports for those who are looking to get out on the water while the
01:21weather is so nice. So social sailing is happening at All Aboard Water Sports. Tell me more.
01:28Social sailing at All Aboard Water Sports on Baltic Wharf is always a very popular one for
01:34locals in the warmer months. The social sailing is designed for those with some prior experience
01:40and it's not recommended for beginners. It will assist people who need a refresher from a skilled
01:46RYA instructor to help them, all while enjoying socialising on the Bristol Harbourside water.
01:53That sounds like a fun activity, especially for springtime and those who are looking to socialise.
02:00Okay, let's move on to art then. So this month marks five years since the Covid-19 pandemic
02:06and Southmead Hospital is marking that as part of a photography exhibition.
02:11But what can we expect? Tell me more.
02:14Yes, you're right. The photography exhibition at Southmead Hospital is called Pandemic Reflections
02:20and is a unique photography exhibition in Bristol that celebrates the five-year anniversary since
02:25the pandemic. Five years on from the Covid pandemic, Clare Fleming is exhibiting some
02:31of her beautiful lockdown photographs at Southmead Hospital from March 7 until summer 2025.
02:38Clare walked the empty streets of Bristol, exploring the city centre streets
02:43and harbourside during her early morning lockdown walks. During lockdown, Clare took time to enjoy
02:49the stillness and to notice little things that are normally overlooked when life is
02:54functioning as normal. She also recorded many tributes to the NHS.
