Bristol Twestival 2010 – are you coming?

Bristol’s twittering masses will be gathering for a night of fundraising, fun and frolics on Thursday 25 March. The Bristol party is open to anyone who uses the Twitter short messaging service and those curious about Twitter, tweets and online social networking too.

The second annual Twestival event is a worldwide campaign that has flourished from its humble beginnings in February 2009. As part of the two hundred plus parties taking place across the world on the same day, the location for the Bristol party is The Tunnels; an inspirational venue housed under two converted railway arches near Bristol Temple Meads. The first 150 ticket holders will receive a goody bag as a thank you for purchasing a £5 ticket, with all proceeds going to the Twestival global designated charity.

The Bristol event last year raised over £1500 for charity:water and the combined global funds helped to install a much needed fresh-water well in a village in Ethiopia. This year, the fundraising efforts are for Concern Worldwide, an international humanitarian organisation transforming the lives of the world’s poorest, most marginalised children through education. This year is set to be bigger and better than ever with the increase in the number of people using Twitter.

Bristol’s Twitterati will be able to meet their online acquaintances, put faces to names and make new friends during an evening of entertainment and a prize-packed raffle draw of items generously donated by local businesses and organisations to aid the worthy Concern Worldwide cause.

Bristol’s party was the first in the world to start selling tickets for this year’s event so you will have to move fast! Will you be joining us? Get your tickets here.
