What's on in Bristol? A better question would be what’s not on in Bristol! This energetic city has an events calendar full to bursting – all year - so you’re pretty much guaranteed to find something to float your boat.
This is your one-stop shop for fun things to do. From immersive theatre performances to pop-up dinner parties and pirate walks.
So where to start? Well, you can see what’s on by simply entering the dates of your visit… or, if you’re a bit more flexible, just by selecting a month. Whilst summer is certainly alive with all manner of festivals and frivolities, you’ll find amazing things to do from January right through to December.
Perhaps you’d prefer to pick by theme? Our handy collections of events and activities are great if you’re seeking inspiration for a particular occasion – like Christmas, Halloween or a special Valentine’s treat. Or if you’re looking for something to match your interests, be it sport, theatre, food, music or comedy. Or maybe you’re only interested in free stuff? Excellent – you’re exactly where you need to be.
You can also explore what’s on by area, helpful if you’re staying in Central Bristol or the Harbourside and want a night out just a short walk from your hotel. Perhaps you’re staying with friends in East Bristol, or around Stokes Croft, and want ideas for things to do while your hosts are at work. Wherever you are, there’s sure to be an event.
And don’t forget to check what’s coming up! There’s bound to be a wild card in there you’d never have dreamt of searching for. Coffee rave, anyone?
So get clicking through our calendar to discover what’s on in Bristol. There’s always something new, too, so even once you’ve found what you’re looking for be sure to come back and see us again soon…
