Well it’s the morning after another fantastic First Friday of the Month: Bristol’s monthly get together of passionate young, and some slightly older, designers. A big thank you to everyone who made it to The Lansdown‎ last night, it was great to see you all.

Here are some of our highlights.

And from around the city...
