Families are welcome until 5pm, with under-18s admitted free of charge (ticket required).
The fundraiser will help drive forward Team Canteen’s work under the banner “Everyone deserves access to nutritious food”.
Run by a collective of local businesses – including Bianchis Group, Emmeline, The Love Inn, Pipe and Slippers, The Pony Family and Team Love – the CIC channels support, skills and surplus to help increase access to good food for everyone.

With a strong focus on diversity, inclusion, participation and sustainability, Team Canteen hopes to strengthen the link between hospitality and the community food organisations already delivering vital services across the city.
Funds raised from the Arbor Ales event will directly benefit these efforts, helping to build stronger, fairer food systems in Bristol.
The fundraiser takes place at Arbor Ales Courtyard, 181 Easton Road, Bristol, BS5 0HQ.
