	Eating in Bristol: Food is very important to Bristol. There are an ever increasing number of restaurants covering every taste of food imaginable. Bristol boasts three Michelin starred restaurants but also boasts an array of independent and chain restaurants suiting all budgets. As a result Bristol has recently hosted a number of successful foodie events such as Bristol Food Connections and Bristol Harbourside Foodies Festival.
	Socialising : Bristol might be in the heart of cider and scrumpy country but it also has its fair share of pubs serving craft beer, some brewed in the city itself by amongst others the Bristol Beer Factory and Butcombe brewery. If Beer are Cider are not your “cup of tea”, then Bristol is one of the best places to be for cocktail enthusiasts. We have everything from arty quirky to retro and vintage.
	Environment: A High Quality of Life was one of the factors that the European Commission used when they voted Bristol European Green Capital 2015. The award rewards cities who have set high environmental standards and encourages them to commit to further environmental improvement and sustainable development.
	Culture: Music and Culture are live and kicking in Bristol. Bristol has a huge variety of music venues. From small venues giving opportunities to new bands to get their first gigs to larger venues such as Colston Hall showcasing international artists. It also has a range of theatres from the The Little Black Box micro theatre showing community productions to The Bristol Hippodrome http://www.atgtickets.com/venues/bristol-hippodrome/ staging West End and Broadway productions. Not forgetting the newly refurbished Bristol Old Vic http://www.bristololdvic.org.uk/  which is the longest continuously-running theatre in the UK and prides itself on creating ground breaking work.
