Distribution
• Bristol is home to BIG Green Week, the UK’s biggest annual festival of environmental ideas, art and culture, which attracts 50,000 visitors a year.
Published in September 2015 - during the European Green Capitol celebrations - 20,000 copies of this A5 Directory will be distributed to businesses, cafes, community centres, tourist information centres, hotels & to every library in the city, as well as door-to-door in the most affluent areas of both Bath and Bristol. Why Advertise? Just the right size to fit in a pocket or handbag, an advert in the Green Guide to Bristol and Bath will be seen by thousands of local shoppers who want to spend money with your business. With Bristol still celebrating its role as European Green Capital, this is the best possible opportunity to promote your business to tens of thousands of potential new customers. Produced by Bristol Green Publishing Ltd (the team behind the Bristol Pound Directory, the BIG Green Week programme and other high profile publications), if you want your business to stand out, a range of advertising options are available.
