Bristol China Bureau marks mid-autumn festival
Businesses have an opportunity to find out more about the work of the Bristol and West of England China Bureau and celebrate the Chinese mid-autumn festival at a special event in the city next week.
The event takes place under the theme of “All Under One Moon” - a motto associated with the traditional annual festival - at YHA Bristol in Narrow Quay on Thursday, 6th October.
It is being hosted by the bureau and supported by the China National Tourist Office, Guizhou Province and the bureau’s partner organisation, Make It China.
“During the evening guests will be treated to a rich cultural experience, outlining the background to this prominent festival, which is similar to our own Harvest Festival and celebrates the fruits of summer and the onset of autumn,” says Dianne Francombe OBE, chief executive of Bristol and West of England China Bureau.
“We shall introduce and highlight China’s beautiful Guizhou Province, a landlocked province in the south of the country, and there will be a chance to enjoy tasty authentic Chinese cuisine.
“China is a huge and growing market and we are working to strengthen relationships and expand our connections there by providing a platform for businesses and individuals to develop understanding and connect with like-minded organisations.”
The runs from 6-9pm at YHA Bristol. Tickets can be booked at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/mid-autumn-festival-tickets-410394148947
