A food & drink performance in Bristol

upcoming event

Bristol's Food & Drink Scene

Bristol is well know as one of the premier food and drink destinations in the West. As well as being a top spot for music, our discerning citizens love a good bite to eat. New foodie areas like Wapping Wharf have appeared over the past few years - providing more choice than ever for visitors wanting to grab a bite.

With a strong vegan and health food community in districts like St Werburghs and Gloucester Road, there are a lot of events catering to these crowds too. The annual Vegfests provides ethically sourced food and drink as well as music. Werburghs' institution 'The Farm' run regular food events with a locally-sourced agenda. You can also look forward to events like Grillstock, Eggs Benedict Day or the more drinks-focused South Glos Food & Drink Festival and the UK Rum Festival.

What our editors say

“Making Connections is about trying to make networking more human, enjoyable and creative. Early-career artists and southwest arts organisations are invited to take part in a relaxed evening of conversation, games, food and drink - getting everyone in the room building new connections and chatting about how they can support each other. ”
From: Making Connections | A shy person’s guide to building your creative network

“After taking a year off, we’re delighted to be bringing back our FREE community Fire display event this year — and we can’t wait to welcome everyone back! It’s a day for families, friends and the whole community to come together, have some fun and enjoy a fantastic atmosphere. There’ll be live music, recorded music and DJs, plus plenty of food and drink, including burgers, chips, hot dogs, toffee apples, candy floss and a kids’ bar. We’ll also have raffles, lucky dips, free sparklers for the little ones (with a parent/guardian’s consent and supervision) and, of course, the highlight of the evening — our spectacular FIREWORK DISPLAY!”

“Throughout the day we will have different activities you can get involved in including letter writing for UK prisoners for Palestine and sharing ideas about how to build a community boycott. There will be food and drink available.”
From: Building community through craft with Women in Hebron

“Monthly evening art sessions, all abilities welcome, materials provided and food and drink available from the bar. A different activity every month, a led session followed by creative social time! October: Autumn Wreaths @artcafebristol”
