The renowned Big Tent Ideas Festival arrives for its first-ever Bristol edition.
The Big Tent Ideas Festival is set to make its Bristol debut on Saturday 11 June, combining political debate with art, entrepreneurship and more as part of an intriguing all-day event.
Taking place on Queen Square, the festival will showcase a forward-thinking lineup of hosts and guest speakers, including government ministers, members of the shadow cabinet, UN representatives, social media executives and charity leaders.
The Big Tent is a charitable foundation set up to create space for non-partisan conversation about policy issues, giving a voice to places and people often left out of the conversation or overlooked.
Organised to catalyse and curate new conversations around real, transformational and lasting renewal and regeneration, the Big Tent movement is dedicated to making a difference.
At its core, the project aims to take an active role in new conversations and shine a light on the approaches and leaders required to refresh our political discourse.
Bristol's inaugural Big Tent Ideas Festival will see a handful of current and former ministers get involved in a broad range of debates and conversations.
