About this Event

PROTESTIVAL IS BACK FOR THE 4TH TIME, BRINGING YOU HIP-SHAKING, FOOT TAPPING MUSIC, MIND EXPANDING TALKS, AND WORKSHOPS THAT WILL BOGGLE YOUR BRAIN AND TEACH YA SOMETHING NEW.



Lovingly founded as a platform for the cultivation and exchange of new ideas among local people, Protestival combines teaching, learning, dancing, and connecting with new people. The day is an amalgamation of live music from local musicians, short talks on issues such as politics, sustainability, ecology, social justice, and food, alongside interactive workshops and live art. We also host local activist groups, so everyone has a chance to get involved in something they are passionate about, be it animal rights, food sovreignity, student activism, ethical business, or any number of other groups that operate in Bath.



Bath is a vibrant city, and Protestival is here to showcase what we've got!
