Bev Milner Simonds, director and founder of eat:Festivals, said: “We’re very excited for the latest edition of eat:Bedminster and our partnership with Bedminster BID has given us the opportunity to grow the festival and keep shining a spotlight on the local businesses that are here all year round with food, drink and entertainment.
“We’re looking forward to once again helping the community discover producers and make connections – and hopefully turn them into new regular visitors to Bedminster.”
Ruth Green, BID manager of Bedminster BID, added: “It is great to be able to give the local area another edition of eat:Bedminster.
“Not only does it give support to our traders but it also means we can shine a light on new businesses in the area.
“East Street will be buzzing with music, good food and independent traders on every corner.”
eat:Bedminster coincides with the Bedminster Vintage Bonanza, where 31 traders across eight venues in the area will be offering a 10 per cent discount in stores.
