Bristol’s wildest festival is back for another year

Bristol Zoo Gardens’ annual summer festival is back for another jammed packed day of music, theatre, circus acts, cabaret, food, drink and fun for all ages.

Boogie for Brizzle will be held on Saturday July 18, in the Zoo’s impressive 12-acre grounds. It is the only night of the year the entire zoo stays open until late, celebrating and showcasing Bristol’s abundant home-grown talent, including some of the best performers and live music the city has to offer.

The line up on the Zoo’s very own Main Stage includes urban reggae from Laid Blak, soulful country from Phantom Limb featuring vocalist Yolanda Quartey of Massive Attack, mellow acoustic vocals from Phil King and eclectic acappella from World Roots Voice Ensemble.

Over on the Other Stage will be street theatre from Splott Brothers with their mobile piano bar, break-dance, sublime circus acts and comedy theatre for all the family.

Throughout the day there will also be walkabout entertainers, circus skills workshops, kids’ shows, face-painting, gorilla games, BBQs, beer tents and more.

And if that’s not enough, why not pay a visit to the hundreds of different animal species at home in the Zoo, including lions, gorillas, penguins, seals, monkeys and meerkats? Take the opportunity to discover Bristol Zoo’s new exhibit, Explorers’ Creek, while you are there!

Boogie for Brizzle takes place on Saturday, July 18 from 3pm until late. The event is in support of Bristol Zoo’s Year of the Gorilla campaign to raise funds and awareness to help the survival of these critically endangered animals.
