Priston Music Festival
https://www.priston.org.uk/festival
Priston Festival was formed as a charitable society by a group of local people in 2008. The aim was to create an annual community festival which would allow us to celebrate local music and artistic talent - hence our slogan "Live ´N´ Local"!
Many of the acts who perform are from the nearby cities of Bristol and Bath – both renowned for their music scenes. We also stage a smaller number of nationally-renowned acts from further afield
We aim to stage an event which has a broad range of music. Previous festivals have included folk, jazz, blues, rock, world, reggae, choral and classical music. We also provide singing and dancing workshops, film, and literary events as well as children´s art activities.
The main venue is the Village Green Stage outside the Ring O Bells pub. There is also a smaller Chill Stage in the Village Hall car park. These are where the majority of the acts on show perform, and they are free to view.
We also stage music, film and literature in the beautiful parish church, the village pub, and the old village hall with its newly-refurbished car park.
