Medics
Medics are on hand across the site. There is a First Aid tent located next to the info point by the main gates and is staffed with medical professionals, including doctors, nurses and paramedics, who can provide confidential consultations at any time throughout the duration of the festival.
Welfare
Located next to the First Aid Tent, Welfare will be on hand for wellbeing advice and support. Whether you’re feeling in distress, have over indulged or simply want a place to chill out, away from the crowds, our Welfare Tent is a safe haven for festival attendees. They can also advise on issues including drug and alcohol abuse, safe sex, addiction, exhaustion & domestic issues.
Shade and Over 50s Area
We have more shade onsite this year and, in partnership with Age UK we have an over 50s area that will be located near the Rainbow Shade Tent close to the main gates. The FAB Social Space is a welcoming area for LGBTQ+ people aged 50+ and their friends to relax, connect and enjoy Bristol Pride. Hosted by Age UK Bristol’s Friends Ageing Better (FAB) programme, the space offers seating, friendly conversation and the opportunity to meet others in a supportive and inclusive environment.
Sensory Calm Space
Diverse UK are joining us again this year with their Sensory Calm Space. They aim to provide a safe, low-level stimulation and recalibration zone for those on the Autistic Spectrum or for those who need a place to have a moment of calm, rather than having to leave the festival. The tent will be located next to medics & welfare.

Water points are located at each toilet block for you to fill your reusable bottles or cups and free drinking water is available across all the festival bars. Bristol water will also be located near the main stage screen for free cold filtered water.
