Calling all students! On Thursday 1 October, businesses on Park Street and Queens Road are taking part in Student Day, offering exclusive discounts to all students with a valid ID card.
For one day only, students will get the chance to pick up everything from a new gym membership to two-for-one cocktails, all with a hearty student discount. All stores involved have also extended their opening hours, meaning you have a whole day to stock up on essentials, take time out and treat yourself at the start of the new academic year.
Please look after each other and look after Bristol by complying with social distancing rules and wearing a face covering.
Here’s a round-up of the businesses taking part and the discounts they’re offering:
