    Anyone Going to Grillstock 2016 in Bristol

    Yes I am going for whole weekend also.  I will have to book a hotel before everything sells out, I think the Ibis is the nearest hotel.  There is not much information on the location of the event, I think the nearest train station is going to be Bristol Temple Meads.   I am thinking of coming...
