The festival, on September 7, is in its fifth year and the event promises to be better than ever with a wide variety of music on two stages and renowned Bristol chefs putting on a culinary demonstration.

The bar will be offering beer, cider, wine, Pimms and bubbly, while the Kids Kaff will be serving soft drinks and snacks.

Barbecued food, a hog roast and dishes from Indian Kitchen and the Fair Trade Café will also be available throughout the day.

The festival line-up includes Brockley Forest, the International Banjo Band, Mange Tout, Rosie Southern, Those Crazy Horses and a special guest. The headliners are Backyard Super Band and the Sugar Snaps.

There will be plenty of entertainment for children, including a film as the sun goes down.
