Thousands of people are expected to descend on the city next week as Hollywood film star Nicolas Cage switches on the Christmas lights.
The event, which has attracted national attention, will take place on Thursday in Milsom Street and will see crowds gathering to get a glimpse of the award-winning actor.
Yesterday a meeting was called to discuss crowd control and traffic management issues in light of the weekend's festive light switch-on in Birmingham, which saw 60 people injured at an event where boy band JLS were guest stars.
Avon and Somerset Police and Bath and North East Somerset Council health and safety and traffic officers met to talk about the precautions which would be put in place to deal with the large number of people expected.
The event will begin at 4.30pm with local groups providing the entertainment for the evening.
