FAQs

What is Bristol Festivals?

Bristol Festivals is an independent website listing that brings together festivals happening across Bristol. It’s designed to make it easier to discover the city’s music, arts, food, cultural and community festivals all in one, dedicated place.

What kinds of events are listed?

The site focuses specifically on festivals. That includes well-known annual events as well as smaller, independent and grassroots festivals that can be easy to miss elsewhere. All festivals have a place here, from world-renowned brands to smaller community startup festivals.

How is Bristol Festivals different from other event listings?

Most event sites mix festivals in with gigs, club nights and one-off shows. Bristol Festivals is Bristol-first and festival-first, so it’s easier to browse multi-day events and seasonal festivals without wading through unrelated listings. It's not called "Bristol Festivals" for no reason! ; )

Is Bristol Festivals an official Bristol tourism site?

No. Bristol Festivals is an independent project created to help people explore and enjoy Bristol’s festival scene. It’s not run by the council or a tourism body.
