Cheers! Raise a glass to festival's return

BRISTOL Harbour Festival returns later this summer and organisers have announced a collaboration with four of the city's most acclaimed breweries to give the extravaganza more of a local flavour than ever.

- 

The big event returns from Friday, July 18, to Sunday, July 20, transforming the city's historic harbourside into a vibrant, free celebration of South West culture, creativity and community. This year four breweries - Left Handed Giant, Wiper and True, Bristol Beer Factory, and Lost and Grounded Brewers will pour side by side for the first time from a series of collaborative harbourside bars.

The partnership is a milestone for Bristol's independent beer scene, recognised nationally for its innovation, diversity and quality.

Harry Feigen, director at Proud Events, said: "Bristol's breweries are some of the most exciting in the UK and having them work together in the heart of the festival feels like a real moment for the city."
