World Cup Village countdown under way
Thursday, June 7th 2018
World Cup fever will hit Ashton Gate in a week's time.
Fans will be able to flock to the Bristol Sports Bar & Pizzeria and enjoy all the summer tournament's fixtures on the big screen.
The world's best players will be on show and you'll have one of the best seats outside of Russia by enjoying the beautiful game on the largest indoor pub screen in the UK.
The large Fan Village will also be set up at the stadium, sponsored by Gorilla Grass, who will be providing a seated lawn.
In the Fan Village will be a prosecco bar, Martin Miller Gin bar, cocktail bar, fish and chips and a BBQ.
