Expression at Millennium Square

A bold space for culture, commentary and creativity, the Expression Stage returns with a powerful mix of spoken word, panels, talks and performance. Curated with Good Law Project, Diverse Artists Network and Bristol Legacy Foundation, this year’s programme shines a light on activism, identity and artistic truth. From high-profile voices like Carol Vorderman and Ella Morgan to rising talents across the South West, expect radical ideas, urgent conversations and moments of connection, all rooted in Bristol’s commitment to diversity, access and community.
