'See off Summer in Style' August!

Jo MacArthur • July 27, 2026

August is one of the biggest months for arts, culture, seasonal delights and music in the UK,

Highlighted by carnivals, seaside events, outdoor celebrations and a welcome bank holiday!

The eat:Chipping Sodbury fabulous food festival takes place in the High Street with the aim

To connect the community with the local productive landscape showcasing their hall of fame.

Over 70 food and drink makers, brewers and bakers will be there along with entertainers,

Covering all aspects of street and treat food, with nearby farmers, growers and campaigners!

Not too far away at Berkeley Castle over the bank holiday weekend, the fortress is transformed

Into a lively and roaring arena with incredible horsemanship and intense battles being performed

The Bristol International Balloon Fiesta is also happening producing 3 days of magic for your eyes

With the sky full of colourful hot air balloons creating breathtaking views floating across the sunrise!

Let’s savour the last of the lazy summer days and the scent of blooming flowers filling the air,

And enjoy the sun-drenched meadows or unwind on a tranquil riverbank in nature’s fab fanfare!
