Street Chess using road traffic cones was an idea that developed in Stokes Croft as a response to the perceived negativity of public space in the area. The use of cones was born of necessity. The abundance of traffic cones found on the streets gave us the idea of creating a chess set from what was already in the streets, for use in the streets.

Stokes Croft Streetfest 2011 was a resounding success which attracted over 8000 people for a day of positive fun-filled celebration. Members of the community, music lovers and families alike enjoyed the festivities and friendly atmosphere which continued into the night without incident. It was fantastic to see the recent troubles in the area put aside and everyone coming together to support local trade and talent and join in the celebrations.
