Bristol Wing Fest

About

Bristol Wing Fest is a celebration of the mighty chicken wing and is now the world’s most popular chicken wing festival.

Wing Fest will take over both The Prospect Building’s indoor and outdoor spaces, dubbed as a cultural hub for music and events, making this the biggest Bristol edition yet.

15 of the UK’s best wing slingers go head-to-head, serving up an incredible 60,000 drums and flats, all fighting for Bristol’s ultimate wing crown.

Competition categories are Best Buffalo Wing, Best Wild Wing and Best BBQ Wing, and every trader will be battling for a coveted place in Wing Fest’s Hall of Flame, with one crowned the ultimate Bristol Wing Fest champion.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get to the festival?

The Prospect Building is less than a 10-minute walk from Bristol Temple Meads Station, which is served by many train routes and bus routes. From here you can walk down Cattle Market Road and Feeder Road. If you are taking a taxi, use the postcode BS2 0UJ or request The Prospect Building for your drop-off point. 

Is there a car park?

There is no parking at the venue, we would recommend taking public or active transport to the festival. The closest car park is the Bristol Temple Meads long stay car park, which is around a 10-minute walk away.

Is the festival covered or open air?

The Prospect Building has both indoor areas and a large terrace, so there are options for taking shelter if it rains!

Will there be options for people with dietary requirements?

Allergen information will be available from the traders on the day. Some traders will be serving Halal or gluten-free wings - the information will be printed in the event voting card that gets handed out on the day. The festival cannot guarantee vegan or vegetarian food traders.
