A firm local favourite and one of the biggest free festivals in the country, the Bristol Harbour Festival turns the city into a waterfront wonderland.

Expect live music on multiple stages, street performances, dance tents, circus acts, and a whole lot of tasty food and drink.

Boats, barges, and tall ships take centre stage, and the whole event is a celebration of Bristol’s maritime roots with a modern, multicultural twist. It’s loud, lively, and completely unmissable.

Bristol’s newest foodie festival is fast becoming a favourite. Feast On is a three-day culinary celebration where some of the city’s best chefs, food trucks, and mixologists come together for one giant outdoor party.

Grab a bao bun, a Neapolitan slice, or a smoky BBQ plate, sip on a locally brewed beer or cocktail, and bask in the laid-back summer vibes of Queen Square.

It’s flavour-packed, family-friendly, and your belly will thank you.

Let’s face it—cider is a way of life in the West Country, and Bristol Cider Week is a full-on homage to the good stuff.

Venues across the city—from tiny taprooms to cider farms—host tastings, pairing dinners, workshops, and exclusive barrel releases.

Whether you’re into the cloudy scrumpy classics or sparkling new-wave blends, this is your week to sip, swirl, and discover what makes local cider so special. Just pace yourself!
