Bristol Festival Stays
Book Your Perfect Base for Bristol’s Best Festivals
Bristol is a city that knows how to celebrate. From spectacular hot air balloons drifting over the skyline to live music echoing along the harbourside, the city hosts some of the UK’s most loved festivals — and our guest-ready homes put you in the perfect place to enjoy them.
Whether you’re here for a summer weekend or staying longer to soak up the atmosphere, our self-catering properties are a comfortable, well-located alternative to noisy hotels or basic festival digs.
Bristol Balloon Fiesta
Family friendly accommodation for balloon lovers
Europe’s largest annual ballooning event fills the sky with colour every August. Our properties offer the ideal retreat after a day at Ashton Court, whether you’re attending dawn ascents, night glows, or the full weekend.
Tip: Brislington Townhouse and Knowle Studio are well placed for road access and nearby viewing spots.
All Bristol Stays properties offer easy access to regular buses to events:
Each home comes with a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable living space, and everything you need to relax and reconnect as a family — before and after the ceremony.
Bristol Harbour Festival
Making your stay shipshape and Bristol fashion
This free summer celebration of music, dance, circus, and food takes over the Harbourside and Old City. Our City Centre Townhouse is just steps away from the action — close enough to join the party, but quiet enough to unwind.
Also good from: Brislington or Knowle with quick bus links into town.
Stay Close to Bristol Sounds
Book Accommodation for Bristol Sounds close to the Harbourside
Bristol Sounds is one of the city’s most iconic open-air concert series, bringing world-class acts to the Harbourside amphitheatre every summer. With the stunning waterfront backdrop, buzzing festival atmosphere, and top-tier line-ups, it’s no surprise tickets — and nearby accommodation — sell out fast.
If you’re attending a show, our centrally located properties are the perfect place to stay for Bristol Sounds. From our City Centre Townhouse, you can walk to the venue in minutes — no taxis, no stress. Prefer somewhere quieter after the gig? Brislington Townhouse and Knowle Studio are well connected and offer a peaceful escape after a high-energy night.
Whether you’re here for indie legends, rising stars or an unforgettable sunset performance, Bristol Stays gives you space, comfort and flexibility — just around the corner from the stage.
