Travel across the globe (on foot!) along one of the most diverse highstreets on the planet! Around The World in BS5 is a promenade experience exploring the cuisines, cultures and stories of communities from across the world.
Expect anything from traditional instruments to contemporary performance. From singing to vogueing! There’ll be dancing in hair salons, and encounters amongst fresh cut flowers. And of course, you will be tasting delicious food — from Jamaica to India, the Middle East to West Afrika, via Afghanistan, Ethiopia and Nigeria — so come with an empty belly, an open heart (and a pair of comfy shoes!).
Stapleton Road awaits you, with the warmest of welcomes!

Accessibility
We aim to ensure that this event is accessible to all, but in order do this we ask individuals to please contact us in advance to discuss specific access needs. Around the World in BS5 is a performance event that takes place during a guided walk along Stapleton Road lasting between 80 and 90 minutes. The activity takes place between and within a number of small businesses on a busy high street. The nature of the physical accessibility of these individual shops and business varies, and some visitors may require assistance.

If you plan to attend the event as a wheelchair user, or have limited mobility, please contact us in advance so that we can provide appropriate information and support.
Children
We want to accommodate the entire family and ensure you all have a fun time on the tour. While there is no inappropriate content on the tour, the event is not aimed at children. So we can plan numbers, we ask that anyone in your group who will be eating, or using a seat on the tour, has a ticket booked for each of them (including children).
Space is limited in many of the businesses we visit on Stapleton Road so we suggest that buggies are left outside. We have an event manager and stewards on each of our tours who can help you in and out of the spaces, and help to keep an eye on your belongings, but cannot be ultimately responsible for their safety.
To discuss these details or with any other enquiries please contact us at hello@compasspresents.
