Simple Things Festival is a 3-day indie rock festival at TBA in Bristol, United Kingdom. The October 2026 edition runs 8–10 Oct 2026.

Everything happens at TBA, in Bristol. Bristol · 0 km · about 0 min is the organiser's practical nearby base for accommodation and transfers to the festival site.

Simple Things Festival keeps the same calendar slot each year: October 2026 for this edition, opening on a Thursday and closing on a Saturday. It falls in autumn, after the summer circuit closes, when flights and rooms come back down in price. That slot matters for the budget — flights and rooms in Bristol are priced for the festival weekend, not the week around it, so shifting your arrival by a day often saves more than any ticket tier does.

Planning the trip, step by step

  1. 1Book the ticket first: tiers at Simple Things Festival are sold in waves and the cheapest wave is gone long before the line-up is complete.
  2. 2Then price the travel from Paris — Cinderella compares train, bus, car and flight for the same dates, and the cheapest option is not always the obvious one.
  3. 3Reserve 4 nights rather than 3: the last night of a festival almost always ends after the last train home.
  4. 4If you fly into Bristol Airport, check the transfer time to Bristol before booking the earliest departure — the airport bus is usually the cheapest leg of the whole trip.
  5. 5Follow Simple Things Festival on Cinderella to be emailed when a ticket price drops or a new tier opens.
