This year, we're bringing a reimagined footprint to Bristol that puts the water right back at the heart of the celebration.

Stretching along the harbourside from Thekla to Underfall Yard, the festival’s refreshed layout turns Bristol’s iconic waterfront into a living stage - packed with back-to-back entertainment, dockside moments and maritime magic.
