The Source trade show is going on the road! It’s an exciting new event for Bristol that builds on the 10 year track record of success served up by the Source trade show in Exeter. The brainchild of Hale Events, veterans of the trade show business with 25 years of experience and contacts under their belt, it’s coming to Bristol for one day only, on Thursday 17th of June 2021 at Bristol’s Ashton Gate Stadium.

Working with Taste of the West, the South West’s regional food group, and BARBIE, the Bristol Association of Restaurants, Bars and Independent Establishments, along with a broad mix of trade publications, and local business press, this event will showcase artisan food & drink producers, alongside hospitality and catering supplies, food service, and service providers to hospitality and food retail.

Bristol has a thriving independent food scene, with a lively focus on local, artisan, organic and ethical produce. It has everything from inviting traditional delis and colourful street markets to buzzing bars & bistros, casual popup container restaurants to street food and widely acclaimed chefs to exotically themed eateries, all supported by a huge community of enthusiastic foodies. There’s quality as well as quantity and diversity – five restaurants with a BS postcode hold a Michelin star, the most of any UK city outside London.
