Carnifolk Presents: Carving's Carnival at Volunteer Tavern
See event details

A event on Thursday 28th March. The event starts at 19:30.


As spring blooms, the Carnifølk are back for a whole new year of fun!

Join sorceresses, pirates, bunnies and goblins at the Volly Beer Festival for a spring festival like no other - bursting with quests, games, and springtime verve!

So raise your glasses high and sing and smile and cry - the Carnifølk are back in Brycgstowe!

Located just beyond the walls of Brycgstowe, now known as Bristol, The Volunteer Tavern, affectionately referred to as "The Volly," is a mystical haven deep within the heart of the forest. In the wake of a stringent crackdown on vagrants, buskers, and non-conformists under the Conservatorium's new financial regime, The Volly has emerged as a sanctuary—a vibrant cultural melting pot where adventurers, magical beings, and outcasts unite.

Thriving on the communal spirit of its diverse inhabitants, The Volly operates on a forbidden currency known as Niblets, mystical coins valued for the loving energy infused into them by their givers. These coins, strictly prohibited by the Conservatorium, have become the lifeblood of this unconventional establishment.

Emerging from the sacred oak with a mission to spread love and joy, Cousin Carving, an ancient being, seeks to reunite his carnival troupe to protest against oppressive forces and create community in the face of adversity. Will you join him on this extraordinary journey?
