More info

Brisfest is a music and arts festival celebrating local and South West music, art, dance and food. BrisFest moved to the Ashton Court estate in 2012 after permission was granted from Bristol City Council. This means the event has a capacity of 40,000 people over two days on grassland around half an hour's walk from the city centre. This move marks a return of a not-for-profit large scale music festival to the estate, something which has not happened for five years.

Also on site will be the Arcadia Bug, walkabouts & site art, Soundclash Area, Fancy Dress Parade, Kids Area & Fun Fair, The Police Rave Unit, Workshops area, and Body & Soul therapy, performing arts tent, the usual festival food and stalls, cocktail bar, and an after party.

There's an additional charge camping with Camp at my Event who are partnering with Brisfest to set up a campsite in the grounds of the estate. Weekend camping passes are on sale priced at £22 for adults, £11 for children with pre-erected camping also available.

Organisers

The Bristol Festival Community Group, Registered Charity 1124722. The entire festival is run by volunteers with the organisers offering training and skills development as part of their year round charity work.

Fundraisers
