Bristol’s Sausage and Cider Festival is set to return in 2026 for a day of live music, special guests and, of course, sausages and cider. Taking place at Eastville Park on Saturday, June 13 (12-10pm), the event promises 30 types of ciders and 20 sausage flavours, as well as an eating competition and festival market to explore.
The first phase of the line-up will see tribute acts for bands including The Killers, Abba, Queen, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Fleetwood Mac and Oasis, with celebrity guests and more acts still to be announced. The festival will also host a children’s tent for all the family, and will welcome 90s TV legends including Part Sharp’s Fun House Party DJ Set and the final Barrioke UK Tour (Barry from Eastenders).
Other events on the agenda are set to include a silent disco, axe throwing, a drum and circus workshop and ‘bubble fun’. Tickets have not yet gone on sale, but those interested in attending can sign up to the mailing list for 50 per cent off Boxing Day deals and to be the first to know when tickets do go on sale. Ticket prices look to be in the region of £19.50 to begin with, with VIP packages costing more.
The Sausage and Cider Fest will stop off in Bristol next June as one of some 20 locations on its tour, which will see the event visit everywhere from Aberdeen to the Isle of Wight, including, Cambridge, Glasgow, Swansea, Reading, and more.

The bars will be packed with ciders from small independent vendors and nationally recognised brands alike, while there will also be a vast array of independent food vendors, many of which will cater to gluten free and vegan diets too. Some of the touring ciders listed on the official Sausage and Cider Fest website include The Cotswold Cider Co, Rattler, Brothers, Lilley’s, and Henry Westons, among others.
In 2023, the Sausage and Cider Fest launched its own festival market, with face painting, market food stalls, phone charging and its very own festival market shop with hats, jumpers and a ‘whole range of other festival goodies’.
