Winestock Bristol

Winestock Bristol is the End-of-Year Ball for all University of Bristol students. It is the all-inclusive black-tie festival that embodies hedonism at its finest.

Join 9,000 UoB students on the Downs this summer for an unmissable night of indulgence, celebration and socialising!

Winestock 2025 will be the biggest, boldest and most memorable event that the University has ever seen, topping last year's Winestock. Winestock is made for UoB students by UoB students.

There is a wide variety of delicious food ranging from Spanish to Jamaican to Italian, all served with carefully selected wines. These are supplied by sommeliers from local wine shops. You are entitled to refills so that you can explore and appreciate the wine pairings.

The entertainment ranges from fire breathers to fireworks, with music ranging from jazz and swing to drum and bass.

The dress code is ‘spectacularly formal with a Bristol twist’. Do with that what you will...

FAQs

What does my ticket get me?

I’m non-alcoholic, which ticket should I buy?

Winestock is for everyone and for that reason we invest heavily in high quality non-alcoholic alternatives.

The majority of your ticket cost goes towards infrastructure and staffing - and the difference in cost between our low and no alcohol options such as our mocktails, alcohol-removed wines and soft drinks is negligible, which is why non-alcoholic tickets cost the same.

To emphasis our commitment to high quality non-alcoholic options and to reduce queues at entry due to different ticket types, we’ve merged drinking and non-drinking tickets under one wristband - so if you’re not planning on drinking, please purchase the ticket that reflects your preferences for food and additional perks.

All non-alcoholic drinks and alcohol free wine-alternatives are included with every ticket.

How do I work at Winestock?
