The Big Picnic

This is going to be the biggest free community event ever known in Knowle. In a time when togetherness and local pride matter more than ever, we believe the message behind The Big Picnic is not only powerful but necessary. Join us to put the unity in community.

Make a day of it!

Gather your family and friends and come and have a day in the park to watch balloons launch, have fun, connect, listen to music, dance, eat and celebrate our wonderful community and green space.​​

No tickets needed!

It's a free event. Just turn up, get your spot and enjoy the day. Dogs are welcome, but for health and safety reasons must be kept on leads at all times in the park during the event.

​

Check our Facebook page for regular updates and specific event timings as we move towards the day.

​

Food & Drink all day!

Bring a picnic, or enjoy food from various traders available in the Community Garden and in the park all day and join us at the Bristol Beer Factory Bar to raise a tin or two to the spirit of community!
