The Bristol Festival is a brand new event being organised for 2008 by volunteers who feel it's what the community needs, especially in light of the unfortunate but inevitable demise of the hijacked and obstructed Bristol Community Festival at Ashton Court. A Public Consultation Evening at Trinity aims to get your views and support for a community festival celebrating the region's music, performing arts and local culture. Briefly - 25th Oct at Trinity, more details after the link. 

Being an event based upon community values, it is important to gauge the opinions and views of Bristol's public and to work "from the ground up", and that is what the Bristol Festival aims to do from the start. They are holding their Public Consultation Evening at Trinity, Trinity Road, St Phillips on Thursday 25th October from 6pm. If you have views, they want to hear them, and if you have skills? Well they'd like you to contribute them, and if you play or perform in Bristol and you know what's good for you... You know what to do.

"Media representatives, as well as local businesses, traders, volunteers and general public are all invited to attend the consultation, as the evening is an open invitation for anybody who would like to express their interests or learn more about the festival and its potential. The consultation is an important feature of our efforts to encourage the public to get involved with the festival, either through raising points at the meeting or taking active participation in the events organisation. It's your festival, get involved. There will also be further news about up and coming fundraising activities, design competitions, and a vote on the festival's name."

So you know where you need to be on the 25th October?
