BRISFEST MOVES TO ASHTON COURT FOR 2012
Bristol community festival, Brisfest is moving from it’s city centre location to Ashton Court! Home of the original Ashton Court festival, Brisfest was set up four years ago to fill the void that was left when it crashed and burned due to finance pressure, but now with BrisFest’s rapidly increasing popularity meaning that is has outgrown its city centre site, over 40,000 people are expected to descend on the beautiful estate on the 22nd and 23rd of September 2012
In a statement on their website, the promoters said “Having started off on a smaller scale, we’ve built BrisFest from the ground up over the last four years,” said Poppy Stephenson. “We now have the people, the resources and the systems we need to bring us home to Ashton Court, our ‘spiritual home’!” Tickets for BrisFest 2012 have been on sale since last year, when the public was asked to pledge its support for the festival’s move to Ashton Court by buying their tickets in advance.
“Ticket sales are going really well,” said Poppy Stephenson. “We’re well on our way to 10,000 and we expect a sell-out event.”
“BrisFest 2012 at Ashton Court is going to be an extravaganza of music, street art, theatre, comedy and circus, the likes of which Bristol has never seen before. We’re going to give this great city a festival it can be proud of.”
To celebrate the news, they are offering people who buy their tickets in January a special Swiftpass for no extra cost. This will enable you to skip queues at the gate, bars and toilet. Get your early bird tickets for only £30 HERE
