BRISTOL HARBOUR FESTIVAL 2024

If you’re looking for a fun-filled day for the whole family, Bristol Harbour Festival has it all! I attended this years’ festival to help build up my photography portfolio as I knew there would be so much going on to capture over the weekend - there was entertainment everywhere you looked, definitely not to be missed!

HARBOURSIDE

Along the harbour, you (of course) had the spectacular steam boats and loads of other water-based events, but the main event I wanted to capture was James Prestwood showcasing his incredible skills flyboarding, which amazed everyone with him backflipping up to 60 feet in the air! Take a look at some snapshots below:

FOOD

Whilst walking around you can’t help but smell all the delicious street food vendors! There was asian, mexican, classic burger and chips along with some sweet-toothed delights to take your pick from. Even though it was super busy on the Saturday I attended, you can turn up to a restaurant/bar without needing to book and there was tables free to have a sit down and people-watch whilst resting your feet.

TRAVELLING

You can get to Bristol Harbour Festival from practically anywhere by train or driving down, although parking right by the harbour can be a pain if you’re not there early. So I ended up parking at Cabot Circus and walked down to the harbour, which worked out really well and only took about 15 minutes to get there.
