Spirit of the South West is taking place on North Street on Saturday, and people will be able to sample a wide selection of whisky, rum, gin, tequila and brandies.
Top distilleries from Bristol, Gloucestershire, Somerset, Devon and Cornwall will be attending. There will also be top class cocktails and food, soft drinks and beer available to enjoy.

Attendees include Circumstance Distillery, an award-winning whisky distillery; Retribution, the Frome-based rum producer; and Pocketful of Stones which will be bringing their top spirits all the way from Penzance.
Katy Kennedy, founder of Spirited and Spirit of the South West, said: “Bristol has fast become one of the most exciting cities for drinks anywhere in the UK.
“From amazing cocktail bars to award-winning producers, we’ve got so much going on right on our doorstep, not to mention the wider region and everything going on from Gloucester to Cornwall and in between.
“We wanted to celebrate these amazing distilleries and bring everyone together for the first time to share a drink or two, meet old friends and new faces, and maybe find a new favourite spirit in the process.”
Tickets for the festival are £15 and also include a discount on any bottles of spirits. The festival will be running from 2pm until 8pm over two sessions.
