NF01 November/December 2023
Issue one of nearfield celebrates new beginnings across the region. We get excited about the reopening of Bristol Beacon, meet the hardy dippers revelling in the cold waters of the restored Cleveland Pools, find out what the Bristol Old Vic's new artistic director has planned; and explore the vintage shops, upcycling workshops, and reclamation yards breathing fresh life into old. We also keep readers moving through winter with a guide to indoor and outdoor activities, and meet the Icebreakers in our first community takeover. Plus we round up all the best events, experiences, and food and drink in the southwest this winter.

WELCOME<br />
SORRY IT TOOK US SO LONG,<br />
BUT NOW WE’RE HERE YOU<br />
CAN SAY FAREWELL TO FOMO<br />
Without a killer guide to tell you what’s on, how are<br />
you supposed to get your kicks on route, um, A431?<br />
Well, that’s why we’re here. nearfield is, we hope, the<br />
companion you’ve been waiting for – a three-headed culture<br />
beast of searchable events website, weekly emails, and this,<br />
the magazine in your hands right now. As fate would have it,<br />
we’re launching at a hugely exciting time for the region, with<br />
a major cultural institution reopening and a Georgian landmark<br />
back to its sparkling best. In this first issue we celebrate fresh<br />
starts for Bristol Beacon and Cleveland Pools; dip into the<br />
world of vintage; and cherrypick the best happenings, and<br />
tastiest food and drink. If you want even more, visit<br />
thenearfield.com and sign up for our weekly emails.<br />
