A event on Sunday 5th May. The event starts at 14:00.


Every changing season, we come together on the land to witness the changes, celebrate in merriment, and prepare for the next phase. We mark these days to mark the passage of time, and our time here.

This seasonal celebration comes during a challenging time for our beloved farm. We are working tirelessly to KEEP it in COMMUNITY OWNERSHIP with Bristol Community Land Trust. This year there are a few of ways to purchase tickets and get access to the farm, so have a look at our Crowdfunder page for potential perks for you: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/bridge-farm-community
