Bristol Sausage and Cider Festival - Aug 5 / 6

It’s a real sausage fest.

LOCATION: Old Passenger Shed, Temple Meads Station, Bristol, BS1 6QH.

DATE: Aug 5th / Aug 6th

Music, real cider, and great local sausages (unlike sausages that have moved here from London to start a little chipolata family and inflate property prices)... Bristol sausage and cider festival takes place on Friday August 5 and Saturday August 6. Porking and fermentation.

Local artisan sausage makers Sausagenuis and Buckland Venison will be duelling pork swords all over the place with hot dogs starting at £3.50.

DJ Waggles, fresh from Glastonbury, will be spinning the discs on Friday night, with beats that will shake you to the (apple) core. On Saturday there will be live music courtesy of The Rin Tins and The Crinkle Cuts.
