Bristol Folk Festival
Bristol Folk Festival was brought back to the city for the first time in 32 years in 2011. It takes place inside Bristol's largest concert hall, Colston Hall and is spread across 3 days with up to 40 acts performing as well as Morris dancers, mummers and maypoles, ceilidhs, workshops, singalong sessions and a market. Those wanting to camp for the festival will be able to stay just a minute’s walk from the venue at the impressive St Mary-on-the-Quay church.
