A favourite counter-culture Bristol past-time proving that a group of activists armed with art materials can be every bit as incisive as any number of overpaid advertising executives. The concept is simple: alter an advertising billboard to subvert its message.

Easton is a free spirited neighbourhood. Reflecting the outlook of the community is Kebele, a social centre that began life as an anarchist squat. It shows films, has a library, internet access and runs a bike workshop. Open from 6pm on Sundays, the hub is the cafe where you can engage in political and philosophical discussion to your hearts content. The food is vegan and the coffee is all from the Zapatista region of Mexico.

More than just a second-hand books and vinyl trader. This shop also sells a range of hats and acts as somewhere you can find out about left-of-centre events going on in Bristol. The profits from their Banksy print t-shirts go towards local NGO Kiptik which supports development projects in the Chiapas region of Mexico.

A walk around Bristol that provides immensely valuable insight into the city's 150 year involvement in the transatlantic slave trade and its subsequent legacy. There's an online guide that can be downloaded or maps are available from the City Museum.
