Upfest is back!

Upfest returns from Friday 15 May to Sunday 31 May 2026, bringing a 17-day programme of street art and events to South Bristol. 

Over the festival, 250+ artists will create colourful murals alongside opportunities to take part in creative workshops, live events and community-led projects. 

Bedminster Green sits at the heart of the action this year, with three Upfest locations in the programme, including the pumping station on Dalby Avenue and two nearby spaces. 

Look out for bold new artwork on buildings and walls that often get overlooked, adding colour and creativity to the area. 

You can also buy original artwork through the Upfest Gallery, pop-up shops and partner venues, supporting artists directly while taking home a unique piece of the festival. 

Thanks to Wessex Water, Metalworks student accommodation, Stafford Yard and AtkinsRealis for funding support towards the Bedminster Green sites.
