"Thekla’s presence at the festival is always a pleasure as it embodies the spirit of our vibrant maritime heritage and adds a unique cultural touch to the festival," he said.

“This is a significant year for the Bristol Harbour Festival as we bring back more of the core programme with the return of dance and spoken word."

Bristol comedian, actress, writer and opera singer, Jayde Adams will be DJing on the boat on the last night of the event.
