Introducing the Bristol24/7 10th anniversary collection

To celebrate Bristol24/7 turning ten, we’ve collaborated with three of our favourite Bristol illustrators to create the Bristol24/7 10th Anniversary Collection – a limited series of T-shirts and tote bags celebrating some of the city’s most memorable locations.

The collection is available to view at bristol247.com/shop, and includes the option to purchase T-shirts, tote bags and prints of various sizes from all three of the artists. Pre-orders for the collection will be running throughout March, with orders being fulfilled and shipped in April.

Beware: There will be no other opportunity to get your hands on this super limited collection – if you want to be involved, you’ll have to get your pre-orders in now!

All money raised through the sale of the collection will go directly towards supporting our independent journalism and social impact projects, such as our exceedingly popular work experience program, community reporters scheme or our annual charity partners – you can read more about that here.

The prints will also feature on three separate designs for the March/April magazine, which gets distributed across Bristol from today.

The Jim’ll Paint It design features Vale Street, the UK’s steepest residential street – photo: Rafael Bastos

Jim’ll Paint It’s design features the steepest residential street in the UK, Vale Street. The answer to many a pub quiz question, and once home to a Banksy back in 2020, the design depicts 19th century civil engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel racing down the steep hill on a Voi e-scooter, with Maya Jama following closely behind on one a Tier, towards a Bristol24/7 finishing ribbon, held by Big Jeff & Jeff Knight, while Jayde Adams watches on dressed in referee gear. Wallace and Gromit also watch from a window, whilst Bristol mayor Marvin Rees pokes his head from underground next to a sign saying “Bristol underground coming soon”. Get yours here.

The Turbo Island design features one of the many much-loved off licenses of Stokes Croft – photo: Rafael Bastos

The Turbo Island design pays tribute to potentially one of the most well known convenience stores in Bristol: The aptly named “The Best Supermarket” on Stokes Croft. The 24-hour off licence has been adorned in traditional Turbo Island style, with cartoon lines and bright colours, and is a familiar sight to anyone who has walked down Stokes Croft – street art, rats, delivery drivers. There’s even a nod to Big Issue seller Jeff Knight and Bristol24/7’s very own Martin Booth (look for the ginger beard.) Get yours here.

Members can get £8 off any of the Bristol24/7 10th Anniversary Collection T-shirts – photo: Rafael Bastos

The Lucas Antics design incorporates the BT Tower that watches over Purdown and Stoke Park – an area of solace for many a Bristolian over the years, including our artist. They’ve combined the famous silhouette with their unique colourful dream-like style and colours, along with a few rabbits floating around the tower for good measure. Oh, and it’s being abducted by aliens.

If you’re looking for a way to support our independent journalism and social impact projects while snagging yourself some hot merch, now is the time. (Did we mention that Bristol24/7 members also get discounts on the T-shirts?) Browse the collection now at bristol247.com/shop, and grab yourself some fantastic clobber, while making Bristol a better place.
