Jail & Bail Bristol 2024

Get locked up for a good cause!

Bail set at £999

Who would you like to have 'time' behind bars? Jail & Bail is a hugely entertaining courtroom event which sees nominated supporters arrested, charged with their crimes (entirely fictitious, of course) and then placed on trial. If our jailbirds are found guilty of their wicked and entirely fictional crimes, which they inevitably will, they will get taken into custody, photographed and banished to the cells. They will only be released if they can raise  £999 bail from their connections, including friends, family and colleagues.

This fun courtroom drama will raise vital funds for Children's Hospice South West. The event returns to The Island (previously Bridewell Police station) on Friday 25 October 2024, where the defendants will go to trial in front of our notorious 'no nonsense' Judge!

How it works

• Each ‘prisoner’ will be ‘arrested’, and charged by a Judge for their (fictitious) crime
• The trial begins, bail set and, the clock starts
• Using laptops, phones and books of contacts, prisoners rely on family, friends and colleagues to raise bail to be freed
• Prisoners have their own online fundraising page to help them raise as much bail as possible.
