For four nights of IBT13, a fake moon creates an improbable arc across the Bristol sky.

Blink, you’re not seeing things. Fake Moon is a perplexing apparition in the night sky. Rising slowly, an intense ball of light illuminates the city skyline casting long shadows across the grass.

Simon Faithfull’s Fake Moon makes its wobbling ascent every evening of the festival, powered by man, helium and pulley. Join us in welcoming this extraordinary lunar guest to Bristol.

Drop into the Festival Hub opposite College Green for a glass of mulled wine. Wrap up warm.
