BSme Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Amongst other things at Ashton Gatethere's planned to be NACOA kids crafts - face painting, picture painting, biscuit decorating and badge making - over the weekend. On the Saturday there'll be collaborative painting (11 & 3) and on the Sunday - "Rainbow Gecko Bubbles", "Bordeaux Arts and Crafts" and "Sketch Factory". There will also be live painting by 60+ artists inside and out (list here https://www.upfest.co.uk/uploads/upfest-2018-map.pdf), art sales and music as mentioned above. If you're about on the Monday, there's a kids' activity day at the Tobacco Factory from 11am-4pm (Free) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe one for @Matt Parsons BCFCSLO Thanks Morning, it looks like your question has been answered already. To be honest I only really get involved with things happening from a football perspective but if you want any more information on Upfest I can ask the Ashton Gate team on your behalf. Feel free to drop me an email and I’ll pass onto the right person in the stadium team for you. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t mean for you to know the ins and outs, more if upfest was being held down the ground. Last year the club put it on the website quite a few times that was all. Thank you!

Olé Posted December 24, 2018 Report Share Posted December 24, 2018 That is a shame but it's a huge undertaking to prepare. Here's a little Xmas treat to be going on with courtesy of this year's Upfest fund raiser. A Robin overlooking South Bristol and Ashton Gate, by the brilliant Aspire.

RedLionLad Posted December 24, 2018 Report Share Posted December 24, 2018 With almost 400 street artists from around the world taking part, staging an event like Upfest must be a logistical nightmare. It's grown into a monster over the past 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a shame, I guess it'll give them more time to raise sponsorship etc. Got s couple of bits over the years. The good lady got me a Cheo Robin for Christmas a few years ago, now a permanent fixture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
