The Bristol Listings site maybe useful if you’re looking for something to do for a befriending outing. This is probably more suitable for the older young people as it’s mostly gigs etc. There even seems to be a category for free gigs (although I’m not sure how good the music is…). The site is associated with Suit Yourself Magazine, a local independent.
