An annual one day multi venue festival in central Bristol.

Award-winning, multi-venue music festival Dot To Dot was launched in 2005 and has since become one of the UK’s most popular festivals for showcasing the hottest new talent alongside top-name acts. The first edition was held in Nottingham at three venues (Rescue Rooms, The Bodega and Stealth) with a line-up that included Ladytron and The Rakes. In 2007, Dot To Dot expanded to encompass a second date and city: Bristol. Held at various venues across both metropolitan areas, the line-up – which featured The Cribs, New Young Pony and Kate Nash – didn’t rotate. Instead all the artists played Nottingham on the first day, and then moved on to Bristol the following day. Dot To Dot added a third day and venues in London for 2008, but stripped that location back for 2009. In 2010, the festival expanded to Manchester and for the next nine years that three-city rotation remained. Not only has the multi-city, multi-venue touring festival helped put acts such as Catfish And The Bottlemen, Mumford & Sons, The 1975, Florence + The Machine, Ed Sheeran, Lewis Capaldi and Fontaines D.C. on the map, but past editions have also boasted the likes of Bastille, Cage The Elephant, Frank Turner, Mystery Jets, Skepta, Sundara Karma, The xx and many more.

Bristol Pride is a unique and important event that celebrates the LGBT+ community offering the chance to connect people. As well as showcasing our wonderfully diverse community, Pride is about overcoming prejudice, hatred, reducing isolation, and showing members of the LGBT+ community that they are not alone.

Pride is a protest! We use our political voice to amplify, maintain and further LGBT+ human rights in Bristol and beyond. It is a bold statement for equality, diversity and inclusion, to celebrate our community and to show that hatred and prejudice have no place in our city, or anywhere. We encourage community groups, charities, public sector organisations and businesses who actively support LGBT+ human rights to join us. We do not charge or restrict members of the public to join the parade. We welcome everyone who wants to celebrate, champion and progress LGBT+ human rights to join us. We do ask larger groups coming together, even if you are a social group to register, for free, just to help us coordinate with you and manage numbers.
