The 10-day event will spread out across the city centre incorporating Redcliffe, Cabot Circus, Park Street, Spike Island and Portland Square.

It will also be held slightly later than usual to coincide with half-term.

Previous events had started in January - in part to benefit from the earlier onset of nightfall - but organisers Bristol Business Improvement District (BID) said they had pushed it back based on feedback from visitors.
