Keynsham Music Festival

The Keynsham Music Festival is unique in as much as it is true to its community roots, giving voice to Keynsham amateur groups as well as local charities, and community organisations who network and fundraise, all of which feeds straight back into Keynsham. It is also a vibrant, quality music festival, showcasing some of the best bands in the area with a healthy dash of local artists displaying and sharing their skills.

Keynsham Creative Enterprise Hub

Lucy Rosewarne, one of the founder members -"Well its going to be an amazing social enterprise that plans to reuse a local host building on Keynsham High Street. Yup, we should have one very soon! The hub will aim to provide affordable studio/work space for a variety of local creative enterprises making it easier for these enterprises to thrive together. If you feel you are creative then we would love to hear from you. Because the Hub will support itself economically it means that we will also be able to provide space for lots of lovely community opportunities. There will also be space for exhibitions, meetings, events and a lot of fun. The Hub will reflect what Keynsham wants not what we think Keynsham wants. It’s all about developing collaboration to nurture social, cultural and economic wellbeing for everyone.The Hub Steering group need to know what you think and would love everyones support. Please spread the word far and wide, tell your friends, get them to tell theirs, join the facebook group, have your say and get involved. Its going to be even more exciting with you!"
