C/O Irish in Britain
W.E. Irish' community group is a not-for-profit organisation recently rebranded as it has grown from the 'Bristol Irish Society' which was founded in 1989.
W.E. Irish was set up To make people aware of what Irish people, past and present, have contributed to the West of England; To promote diversity in Bristol and to share learnings from the Irish immigrants’ stories, to benefit those now arriving in the City. The BIS organised the first St. Patrick’s Parade in Bristol in the year 2000. Since then, this has become an annual event and led to the setting up of the Bristol St. Patrick’s Parade Society Ltd. in 2006, which W.E. Irish continue.
The festival aims to bring the sizeable Irish community in the West of England together and to develop a sense of pride in Irish heritage.
