The countdown to Love Saves The Day 2023 is closing in. It's time to don your best festival garms and get your biodegradable glitter at the ready, as thousands prepare to head to Bristol's biggest festival this weekend.
It looks like the sun will be shining for the whole weekend as thousands are set to head to Ashton Court Estate on May 27 and 28 for the Bank Holiday weekend. Fatboy Slim, Sugababes, Years & Years, Groove Armarda, Four Tet and Hybrid Minds are some of the top-billed artists at the two-day event.
Organisers have provided a site map demonstrating where all the stages, bars, shops and other facilities are for this year. It's the second year the event has been hosted at Ashton Court having previously been held in Clifton Down.

There are still some tickets remaining if you're still looking for a fun time this weekend. Here's a chance to look at the changes for this year's Love Saves The Day site for those who've been before or for first-timers to familiarise themselves with the arena.
New stages
There are still 10 stages at Love Saves The Day 2023 after three new areas were added last year. The Lost Gardens stage has been moved from the south to the north part of the site near Paradiso.
Lonely Hearts Club is no longer but there is a new Big Top tent at the south-west part of Ashton Court. Hidden Corners has been replaced by new areas called Twisted Theatre and Inflatable church on the west side and Brouhaha has moved to the east side by the main entrance to the festival. The welfare and medical tent are now at the north part of the map in between Lost Gardens and Shambarber.
New festival shop
There is a new festival supplies shop in the centre of Ashton Court near the Transmissions stage. This is located within the food court area. The shop will provide you with any essentials you might have forgotten, like refillable water bottles, blister plasters, sun cream, hand sanitiser, lighters, bamboo pocket tissues, sweets, sanitary products, fans and more. The festival will be supporting Bristol's traders and independent businesses to stock the shop.
Water points
There are four drinking water points for festivalgoers to refill their bottles at. They mostly remain in the same locations as last year although there is now no longer a point at the most southerly part of the map near the Teaching In Dub stage. It's important to familiarise yourself with where they are on site so you can stay hydrated, especially in hot weather.
Voi drop off point
The festival site will have a Voi park located near the main entrance located on Kennel Lodge Road near the Bower Ashton Campus. Organisers have advised that these will be deactivated later in the evening and the festival is supplying its own bus known as The Love Bus to transport people to and from the city centre.
