Brazen Festival 2026

Powered by Techspark and supported by Bristol BID, Brazen brings together technology, creativity and culture as a single, interconnected ecosystem. It runs across Bristol’s venues, neighbourhoods and institutions, combining large-scale conversations with hands-on showcases, grassroots activity and cultural moments.

The city-wide festival will feature leading founders, innovators, creatives, campaigners and community voices, including Google Cloud’s Caelum Rosenkranz; Founder of Riverford Guy Singh-Watson; Street artist Inkie; Comedian Jayde Adams; Author & entrepreneur Margaret Heffernan; Open Bionics ambassador Tilly Lockey; and Activist & author Satish Kumar.

Brazen’s programme is built around four core tracks, each designed to engage different audiences while contributing to a shared festival identity:

● Summit – brings together large-scale talks, debates and conversations.
● Community – will showcase workshops, meetups and grassroots activity.
● Showcase – features demonstrations, prototypes and applied innovation.
● Live – curated and produced in collaboration with Yuup, this track features large-scale immersive experiences, music and comedy.
