[Taken from the Bristol Design Festvial Blog where I have been guest blogging]

So the deed is done, the destination is deserted and the design has disappeared.  Until next year that is.  Closing the doors on the Old Fire Station with over 4,500 visitors at that venue alone, this year’s Bristol Design Festival was by far the biggest, and most certainly the best.  As I am sure that a detailed recap of the festival will be published soon, this is just a simple post to say some thank yous.

To all of the sponsors and the supporters who made the festival possible… To all of the volunteers who at times braved the cold and the rain trying to direct unwitting pedestrians into the venues… To the exhibitors who allowed Bristol, nay the world to see just what a creative city we live in and what a diverse range of design we can create… And to the public, who came in their thousands to look, like and love what they saw.  Thank you.

Finally, the BDF will be back next year, and it is your festival.  Tell us what it is you would like to see.  Tell us what you liked best this year.  Ideas, competitions, venues, exhibits… we want to hear your thoughts.  We will be back, we will be bigger, and fingers crossed, we will be even better.
