Taking place at the amphitheatre at the Harbourside, the free events over two weekends will coincide with the city hosting two quarterfinals and both semifinal matches at Ashton Gate Stadium.

The Bristol Fan Zone is being delivered by Bristol City Centre BID and promises a mix of live sport, entertainment, local food and community celebration.

Organisers say the Harbourside location will be transformed into a vibrant, festival-style destination where fans, families, residents and visitors can gather to celebrate the tournament and immerse themselves in the atmosphere.

At the heart of the fan zone, a large screen will broadcast all four of the tournament's quarter final matches live, as well as the semifinals the following weekend, all surrounded by a full programme of entertainment.
