One of Bristol’s best-loved community celebrations is back this June, bringing together live music, local traders, great food and family entertainment in support of a remarkable city charity.
Bristol is preparing for one of its most cherished community events as St Werburghs City Farm gets ready to host its annual Summer Fair on Saturday 6 June 2026.
Set in the heart of the St Werburghs neighbourhood, the much-loved charity-run farm will once again open its gates for a full day of live music, delicious local food, independent traders and family-friendly entertainment.
For many Bristolians, the Summer Fair has become a highlight of the city’s social calendar. It combines the relaxed atmosphere of a traditional village fête with the creative energy that Bristol is famous for, attracting thousands of visitors from across the city and beyond.
A Unique Green Oasis in the City
St Werburghs City Farm is far more than a visitor attraction. Established as a registered charity, it provides a green urban oasis where people can connect with animals, nature and one another.
The organisation supports a wide range of community programmes, including youth projects, educational activities, wellbeing initiatives and opportunities for people to learn practical skills.
The farm remains free to visit throughout the year, relying on donations, events and fundraising activities to continue its important work.
What to Expect at the Summer Fair
Visitors can look forward to:
- Live music from local performers
- Street food and refreshments from independent traders
- Arts, crafts and community stalls
- Activities for children and families
- The chance to explore the farm’s animals and gardens
The event offers something for everyone, whether you are looking for a family day out, a chance to enjoy Bristol’s vibrant creative scene, or simply an excuse to spend a sunny afternoon outdoors.
Supporting an Important Community Charity
Every ticket purchased and donation made helps fund the farm’s year-round programmes and keeps this valuable community resource open to the public.
At a time when many local charities face increasing financial pressure, events like the Summer Fair play a crucial role in ensuring the farm can continue supporting the wider Bristol community.
A Perfect Bristol Summer Day Out
Bristol is renowned for its independent spirit, and few events capture that better than the St Werburghs City Farm Summer Fair.
With music drifting across the fields, children meeting farm animals, and visitors enjoying food and drink in the sunshine, the event promises everything a great community celebration should offer: fun, friendship and a strong sense of local pride.
The 2026 Summer Fair will take place on Saturday 6 June at St Werburghs City Farm on Watercress Road in Bristol. For anyone looking for a memorable summer outing in the South West, this is one event well worth adding to the diary.
