About

Welcome to the Bristol Festival Virb site, a brand new festival being organised for 2008 by volunteers who feel it's what the community needs, especially in light of the unfortunate demise of the Bristol Community Festival (at Ashton Court).

Built from the ground up, Bristol Festival aims to involve YOU, the people of Bristol and the South-West, at every opportunity to ensure we get the community festival celebrating the region's music, performing arts and local culture that people want.

There are many opportunities to get involved, from attending the Public Consultations, or volunteering at fundraising events, to helping out in the office or even managing a Bristol Festival project. We would also like to hear your views from where you'd like the festival to be, to which bands you'd like to see, so tell us what you would want from festival and join in the discussions on the Forum on our main website

It's Your Festival, Get Involved!
