Notes to editors:

 

BrisFest is organised by The Bristol Festival Community Group, set up in 2007 to launch a new community focused festival for the South West.

 

The volunteer led BFCG were granted full charity status in 2008 (Registered Charity no. 1124722) and key to the group's aims are public consultation, participation and involvement, making the BrisFest the only city wide publicly directed event. As well as organising the festival, the group runs a volunteer training programme including mentoring, skills swaps and work experience enabling members of the community to gain valuable experience in the events and music industry.

 

The Bristol Festival 2008 was a resounding success with a brilliant weekend enjoyed by roughly fourteen thousand people, winning Venue magazine’s Top Event of 2008.

 

The Bristol Festival 2009 was another fantastic event with around fifteen thousand people attending the event from across the UK on the 18th– 20thSeptember.

 

Prices start from just £5 a day in advance.
