Events in and around Portishead

Portishead Community Market is a not-for profit community market organised and run by volunteers. 100% of the profits made will be spent supporting local businesses, charities and organisations.

Come along to browse the products on offer from a wide range of local, independent small businesses, find out what services local organisations are able to provide and join in with our fundraising activities including our monthly charity raffle.

From gifts and jewellery to pet supplies and pastries - there is something for everyone!

The Community Café is also open providing hot and cold drinks and refreshments with all proceeds going towards supporting the fabulous work Portishead Youth & Community Centre do within the local community.

If you would like to join us as a stall holder or would like to volunteer your time to help with the market, please get in touch.

THIS IS TWO EVENTS IN ONE!

Part One - Join the Music

Join the most inclusive, hands-on music workshop you've ever experienced, hosted by Now Hear This Music C.I.C., and featuring local singer-songwriter Ian Smith, AKA Little Smudge. Together we'll learn and play Little Smudge's family-friendly folksong, The Thrush & the Snail (A Spring Day). A wide array of acoustic instruments, including pitched and unpitched percussion, will be available as we learn and perform this brilliant song together.
 

Got an instrument at home? Get a head start by having a listen and playing along before the big day!
 

Part Two - Big Band for Early Birds

We believe that live music should be accessible to everyone. While so many gigs take place late in the evening, we're offering a rare mid-afternoon spectacular! Enjoy the thrill of a traditional big band up close in a daytime setting, as we welcome Bristol's all-female big band SISTERS OF SWING to the stage for a full set of popular works from this powerful genre. Sit back and relax with a drink from the bar, or get up and dance away the rest of the afternoon!

Come along and chat with your local councillors about anything Portishead! 

Whether you have questions, ideas, or concerns, we’re here to listen.

Don't miss this chance to connect with your representatives and discuss what matters to you.
