Bristol Folk Festival London
Most British music festivals in the summer take place in camp grounds that can support large number of people. These open air events also have camping grounds for people to stay for the duration of the event. However, not everyone likes spending time outside in the summer when temperatures can get very uncomfortable. That is why the Bristol Folk Festival is one of the few indoors music festivals in the area. The award winning event, which has recently been brought back to life, uses the large Colston Hall. The event brings to the stage some of the most well known folk music artists along with food and workshops. The Bristol Folk Festival also give attendees an opportunity to relax and shop indoors. The best part about the whole festival is that the restrooms are clean and indoors, unlike other events.
