Day two in the LoveEaston house. STAPLETON ROAD STREET FAIR!
9am in the LoveEaston house. Bex takes issue with the crockery, treating members of the EastonProject team to an interesting take on the alarm clock.
10am - Breakfast. Time for further investigation of the amenities proved on Stapleton Road. Manage to source helium for afternoon's engagment techniques.
12am - Fair begins! ProjectEaston team don painted pinnies and facepaint and, website postcards in hand. hit the cafe and street outside. The fair included live music, amateur dramatics, food stalls, games and brick a brack. We managed to speak to many local residents who were attending the fair, finding out about the area, the good points and the bad points. Maps of Easton had been printed out and placed in the cafe, where visitors could use tacks and tags to add their comments. LoveEaston members sold drinks and homemade cakes, which worked in addition to the ProjectEaston team's efforts to attract people in to chat.
After the street fair wound up and dinner was cooked and eaten, the housemates headed out to meet Shanks at Canteen, a new and rather trendy bar in Bristol. A live ska band called the Idiot Savants were playing and quite a lot of skanking ensued.

About Us
- ProjectLoveEaston
- Local residents and architects have taken the initiative to find out what their community wants during a month-long intensive consultation this October. The aim is to create a shared vision for Easton’s future which will then be developed into a strategic, community-led regeneration document that reflects local people’s aspirations. This urban regeneration document will clearly set out residents’ visions and will not only give the community more power at the planning stage but will also be invaluable for developers and the local authority. The ProjectEaston team is based out of the LoveEaston cafe on Stapleton Rd for the duration of the project and the outcomes will be exhibited at the Bristol Architecture Centre from the 3rd November. Come along!
