🥳

THANK YOU! 🖤

We’re completely overwhelmed to announce that together we raised an incredible £8780.12 in support of our chosen charities:
Bristol Palestine Alliance, Albert Kennedy Trust, May Park Primary School PTA and All About Change.

Massive thanks to:
Wrong Way Promo, Grrrl Crush, Costoflivingevents, Bristol Palestine Sound Alliance, Junktionthree, Kathika, Riot Garden, Bristol Scum Collective, Sick Squid Gigs, P.G.Events for the outdoor Stage, The Tea Stop for the bar bus, Feral Decay Productions, The Red Lion, The Plough Inn, The Old Stillage, The Chelsea Inn and Carnival Punks for all of their support, collaboration and involvement throughout the weekend.

Special thanks also to Bristol Beer Factory and Arbor Ales for their incredibly generous donations towards the causes, and of course to all of the bands, artists and volunteers — many of whom donated their time, energy and talent for free to help make this happen.

What a weekend. 🖤

The love, community spirit and support shown across Easton was genuinely something special, and we’ve already started planning to make next year’s festival even bigger and better — so keep the dates free for the ultimate Easton weekender!

There’s still some merch left at The Chelsea, so if you’d like to grab one, pop in and ask at the bar — all proceeds will continue going towards the causes.

I feel all warm and glowy after the weekend - Easton Punk Festival was a success again and Sunday service at The Lion was a smasher!

The place was rammed from start to finish and each set was packed full of people enjoying themselves. There's nothing better than selecting a line up of fave music and seeing a packed venue, happy people dancing, and knowing that collectively we're raising money for good causes with it 😈

I don't use this or IG much any more but have been sharing people's pics and videos to IG if anyone wants to look there for evidence of good times 😄 I have a few videos but was too busy to take photos. Share yours pls if you have any! Attached are other people's photos.

Massively grateful to the bands and artists who travelled to play (none of them were from Bristol), each person who came to the show, all the Lion staff, Gemma Summers and Luke on the door, Mark Gunstone for helping from start to finish, the rest of the collective who pulled off their own brill individual shows, and Bristol Skum Collective whose idea this weekender was originally 🖤🤘✨️

Happy days
