SUNDAY 4th DECEMBER - CARVERY @ THE OLD MARKET TAVERN
From 11:30am the OMT will have it's traditional Sunday carvery served until around 2:30pm (or until they sell out). There's a choice of meats and a whole load of veg to help yourself to. It is advisable to phone and book in advance to make sure you get in, the winter event especially can get very busy with bears wanting their traditional roast before heading home!

Then that's about it for the weekend, a vast majority of people head home after saying their goodbyes over breakfast at the hotel or after lunch. If you are staying on a few hours then take a look at the map below you'll see which bars are open through the afternoon and/or evening for one big wind-down at the end of the weekend. THE BRISTOL BEAR BAR IS OPEN THROUGHOUT THE LATE AFTERNOON AND UNTIL 11:30pm and at around 5pm at THE PALACE it's the campest Bingo in town!

We would like to thank all of the venues for working with us. Southern HiBEARnation grows every year and without the owners, landlords, managers and their staff we couldn't bring the event together. We'd like in particular to thank the Bristol Bear Bar and The Palace for really getting behind the event and promoting, supporting and sponsoring it, Richard and his team down at the OMT, Stuart and Russell for letting us take over their venues and for supporting us whenever and however they can, The Marriott Hotel - and big thanks also to BRISTOLPAIR (Chris and Mark) and also OUT BRISTOL for the BBF8 event photo's used on this site.
