Bristol Photo Festival is a new and innovative festival, commissioning and producing exhibitions biannually across the city, alongside an ongoing programme of talks, events, workshops and training through a partnership model of collaboration. The festival provides platforms for national, international, student and emerging photographers, and an extensive outreach and engagement programme with schools, community groups, third level educational institutions, charities and libraries.
There is a programme, which you can look at to see what you’d like to visit join in with in your own time, but we have selected a couple of venues to get you going as they include 5 great exhibitions between them. If you go individually at other times, it’s worth checking the venue websites/calling in advance to check nothing has changed or been cancelled.
You will need to plan your visit on Thu and Fri 23rd /24th Sept by booking individually for each of the 2 venues.
