FRIDAY 2nd DECEMBER - OLD MARKET TAVERN 8pm to 11pm
How else can the weekend start but with the traditional Meet and Greet held at the Old Market Tavern? The perfect opportunity to get together with friends old and new right at the start of the weekend. We'll be there from 8pm through to 11pm with tickets for the events right across the weekend.

The Old Market Tavern also has the brilliant DJ Daddi on the decks with some great tracks to keep you entertained and the bar is open all day (if you get there early and want a drink) and open beyond our Meet and Greet.

If you want to head up the road before Bear Factory then you'll find The Palace on one corner and Bristol Bear Bar on the other - the perfect contrast between high camp and beariness respectively. Friday is always great for getting to know where the bars are if you haven't been before.

FRIDAY 2nd DECEMBER - BEAR FACTORY @ THE RETREAT Midnight until late
The first of the weekends official club nights. Tonight we go all Check shirts and tight jeans for BEAR FACTORY "BEARCLONED" with a retro : remix night - mostly 80's tracks, but we're bound to slip a few others in too.

Entry is only £3 whether you buy in advance or on the door - but space is limited to around 150 (to keep it comfy) and as always there are two floors for you to explore. Upstairs we have the main bar area and the retro remix as well as great lighting system. Downstairs is the quieter, cosier, chillout area to get away from it all.
