Your Local Socialist Festival Needs You

Bristol Transformed is run by dozens of local people. Without new people coming in every year, we wouldn't be able to maintain the same standard of political education events that you enjoy.

Some of our organisers have been politically active for years, but it's also a great way to find your feet in the local left. For many people, BT is the first serious political activity they've been involved in, and it helps develop the skills & confidence to move forward into areas like trade union organising.

If you'd be interested in joining us, sign up as a BT volunteer today and we'll be in touch!

Regular Events

We hold events every Tuesday - check out the upcoming events below, or head to our calendar on Headfirst.

Solidarity with Palestine

This vital new campaign - the Bristol Apartheid-Free Zone - was announced at the closing session of our festival - local people are supporting Palestinian liberation by organising a boycott of Israeli goods across Bristol. 

You can sign up here to build the campaign. Solidarity is an action.

What is Bristol Transformed?

Bristol Transformed is a grassroots and volunteer-led festival of radical politics, arts and culture: bringing together activists, trade unionists, leading thinkers and anyone interested in left-wing politics. We’re creating the space to discuss the most important issues facing us, equipping us with the skills and knowledge to transform Bristol and the world.

Our socialist education runs all year round - book launches, workshops, reading groups, social events, and more. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter to see what's coming up, and join our Discord server or the BT Brain Trust on Facebook to share educational content and ask all your questions in a friendly socialist space.
