If the Cowfolk are doing it, this is where it’s at…
Beats4Boots is back with more beats!
Our spiritual home The Plough is hosting another fund-raising night of tunes and fun in support of Bristol refugees and asylum seekers.
The Easton Cowboys and Cowgirls have been supporting refugees and asylum seekers to find community in Bristol and play sport. All money raised goes towards kit, boots, training, transport, match fees and post-match meals.
The suggested donation is £5, with the promise of great tunes from DJs Thierry Ennui, Maradoner, Stone Cold Charlie Austin, Knickerless Butt, Club Mata and DJ Var. See you there folks!
Introducing our GoFundMe page
Out GoFundMe campaign has already raised more than £4000, but there’s still a lot of work to reach our target. Thanks to everyone who has already donated to our pledge for the men’s footie team where players are predominantly refugees and asylum seekers. Please share the GoFundMe link far and wide to help us reach our final target of £30,000.

Following the screening, the filmmakers are holding a fundraiser across the road at the Plough (9pm), collecting donations for a film festival run that the pub will be matching towards Medical Aid for Palestine.
The film is an emotive and joyful look at life in Bristol for a group of young Palestinians and touches on themes of cultural expression in the face of repression, and the power of communal love.
All are welcome and we look forward to seeing you for an evening of education, conversation, & dancing via film, bands and DJs.
