Held on the Ashton Court Estate, the Orange Ashton Court Festival is one of the country's best summer music and arts events and one of the largest community festivals in Europe.
The music line-up generally draws strongly from an abundance of home-grown talent. Two outdoor stages feature the best of local bands and national headliners. The Even Bigger Top marquee features soul, funk, hip-hop and jazzy bands while the Global marquee hosts a mix of modern and traditional music from around the world.
A Performing Arts marquee offers dance, poetry, comedy and theatre. Other features include an Acoustic marquee, a large kids' area and a Blackout marquee featuring experimental film and music. There are over 150 stalls selling foods and crafts from around the world, two bars and fairground rides as well.
The exact line-up is generally guarded until the event - please visit the festival website for the latest news.
Something of an institution, people have taken it for granted that the festival will always exist. However, it is currently experience something of a financial crisis and has therefore put out a public appeal for donations to put the event back on a secure footing.
