I am visiting Bristol this weekend and I am keen to find some good mixed sessions and see if Bristol lives up to its reputation as a great place for folk music. Can you tell if there is anything happening on saturday or sunday?

The subject may mislead as the "Bristol Sessions" took place many years ago. Carter Family, Henry Whitter, Jimmie Rodgers etc. recording some of country music's early stars.
Are you asking about Bristol,USA or England?

Shaun,
If it's Bristol UK, then there's a session every other Saturday in the Plume of Feathers in Hotwells. Unfortunately this is not one of those Saturdays.

Just for reference: Friday night there's a session in the Princess of Wales in Bedminster; Monday there might be one in the Plume of Feathers again, but I don't know what it's like. Every other Wednesday there's a session in the Nova Scotia, also in Hotwells. Those fortnightly sessions usually start with a beginners' session at 8pm.
