igfest is short for Interesting Games Festival and next month it returns to Bristol for its third year. It does exactly what it says on the tin, with highlights including bicycle polo and the running of the bulls, all taking place on the streets and some of the more unusual buildings of Bristol.

An igfest spokesman says: “The games are all about unique connections between people and places. We play games in and with the real world. We play games in the city, on the streets and in unusual buildings and places. Some game are high tech and some have no tech at alll. Some games last for minutes and others hours. Some are rich and challenging and some are just senseless fun.”

igfest is all about “street games, outdoor spectacles, mass social interaction, the reclamation of public urban spaces for play and adventure”.

The highlight of this year’s igfest is 2.8 Hours Later, a huge night time zombie chase game which will see up to 400 people chased across the city centre by zombies over the nights of September 17 and 18.
