We have a big month ahead here in Bristol with some huge events and big celebrations! Take a look at what’s on offer this month ahead to help plan your visit to the big Bristol.
Bristol Pride
This year, Pride returns to Bristol and will be celebrated across a two-week span from Saturday 25 June – Monday 11 July. During the two weeks, their exciting programme of events will take place in venues across Bristol bringing the city alive with Pride. On Saturday 9th July, celebrate Pride Day, headlined by Carly Rae Jepsen on The Downs.
This year will also see the return of the Pride Parade March, louder and prouder than ever to mark the 50th anniversary of the first pride march in the UK. It is a chance to be visible and, importantly, it serves as a reminder that the LGBT+ community continues to fight for equality.
Bristol Craft Beer Festival
Explore sounds and tastes this June while celebrating all things Bristol with the Bristol Craft and Beer Festival which is returning to Lloyds Amphitheatre for 2022. Explore a huge variety of over 40 of the world’s finest beers from local breweries, alongside national and international big hitters.
