Welcome to this year’s festival… we have a fantastic line up of some of the best unsigned bands in the region as well as lots to do for the family, delicious food, real ales, stalls, creative workshops and more and more!

This year’s theme is Sunshine, and we will be doing some sunshine magic in the Creative Arena with great free workshops.

Once again we have teamed up with Keynsham Fairtrade who will be sponsoring the brand new Bandstand Stage and are organising a Saturday night ceilidh in the park.

Huge thanks to Keynsham Town Council, our main sponsor, without whom this festival would not be possible. They provide us with a substantial grant every year as well as office space and a fantastic team of people who are behind the scenes throughout the year.

Thanks to Keynsham Baptist Church for their unwavering support over the years. They provide us with the venue for a Green Room throughout the day and alongside Churches Together assemble a friendly and resilient group of volunteers who feed and provide refreshments to all the bands and helpers throughout the day and night.

Also thanks to our other sponsors: B&NES, Quartet Community Foundation, Elizabeth R Fine Catering, I J McGill Transport Ltd, The Co-op, Sandison Windows, Keynsham Fairtrade, Jamie and Scott Greatorex at the New Inn, Mr John Paget, More to Life, Andrews Estate Agents and our media partner, Trade It.

As you can see, we are still here, and still free despite two years of rain and a credit crunch! As always, we will be asking for a £2 donation per adult, so please dig deep into those pockets and if you haven’t given already... go find a bucket! Hope you have a wonderful day!
