⬇ Scroll down for final details of this year’s events.

The current plan for the “scaled down” festival weekend (as outlined in a report to a meeting of Bradley Stoke Town Council’s Leisure, Youth & Amenities Committee due to take place on 22nd February 2023) is as follows:

The event will be renamed Community Weekend and will take place on Saturday 10th June and Sunday 11th June. Our thinking so far is:

Saturday 10th June – low key community picnic (organised by BSTC staff) combined with a possible youth football festival organised by Bradley Stoke Youth Football Club (it is their 25th anniversary this year) – awaiting confirmation of this from Bradley Stoke Youth Football Club committee                    

Sunday 11th June – the Sole Sisters 10K Run in the morning and a Colour Run organised by The Brightwell in the afternoon

Skatepark event – not sure yet which day it will be taking place (either Saturday or Sunday) but will likely be expanded to cover the graffiti art project and possible circus skills etc. and will be based at the skatepark.

Bradley Stoke Radio have offered to support us as much as they are available over the weekend.
