Bristol Festival of Stories
a thoughtful celebration of storytelling in all its forms
About
Bristol Festival of Stories is a thoughtful celebration of storytelling in all its forms, from spoken word and literature to oral history, performance and community narratives. The festival brings together writers, storytellers, artists and audiences to explore how stories shape identity, place and understanding, often spotlighting voices that are under-represented in mainstream culture.
Events typically range from intimate readings and workshops to larger talks and collaborative performances, creating a programme that rewards curiosity and close listening. Bristol's creative reputation runs through the festival's DNA, with an emphasis on experimentation, dialogue and shared experience rather than rigid formats.
