Campaign group Enough is Enough will be holding a day of action against the cost of high energy bills in Bristol this weekend.
The planned event is set to take place around 12 pm on Saturday, October 1 at the square in front of the Knight’s Templar Wetherspoons, near Bristol Temple Meads station.
A statement on the Bristol Facebook event reads: “It's time for action! All over the country, our packed-out rallies have held the same message: the working class is back, we know what we want, and we’re getting organised to win it. Now it’s time to live up to our words.”

It continues: “This Saturday 1st October we’re taking action against the energy companies ripping us off.”
The event will see the group of campaigners marching down to the OVO Energy office to express their concerns before joining the RMT picket lines at Temple Meads.
The statement continues: “The head of OVO Energy, Stephen Fitzpatrick, hoards a personal fortune of over £600m.
“Earlier this year his company told customers worried about energy bills to ‘try cleaning the house, or do a few starjumps’ and to ‘cuddle your pets’ to keep warm.
“This callous ‘advice’ shows exactly what the millionaires and this government think of us. We can’t let them win - and we won’t. Over the last few weeks support for our campaign has exploded, and we’ve held huge rallies from Luton to Liverpool, and from Bristol to Leeds.
“We know we can win, because the working class have done it time and time again.”
The grassroots campaign has seen big public meetings in many of the major cities in the UK, with people coming together to call for a five-point plan to end the prospect of an energy bills crisis and spiralling inflation this winter.
