The 49 best art galleries in Bristol

It was a great venue for the event we attended here (Pixel Pioneers). Great audio visual, relatively comfortable seating, but such a great vibe. Visited the bookstore which has a great selection of indy magazines. Extra bonus were the lockers downstairs, which enabled us to enjoy exploring Bristol encumbered. The staff were super friendly too.

I waited years to visit the Arnolfini. First time I visited it was closed. Can't remember what happened the second time, I only remember not getting in for whatever reason 🤔. I needed a foolproof plan and devised a cunning strategy to ensure it would be third time lucky. Perhaps I was too eager, perhaps I'd built up how good it was going to be due to my desire to enter. When I eventually did I was a tad disappointed 😞. Nothing special, no Mona Lisa's to view, no Escher's hanging on the walls to marvel at. It may well have been that I went at exactly the wrong time, the time when the exhibits weren't the type to tickle me in the brain department. Shouldn't grumble 'cos it's a freebie to enter but the bubble was burst, I was a little deflated when leaving. Deep sigh.

Amazing museum. Saw Dana Awartani’s art. Brilliant and emotional. Totally recommend. My teenagers also got involved in their workshop.

Given recommendation to visit here rather than the MShed (which I quite enjoyed). Unfortunately the 1st floor was closed for refurbishment, however there was no art to see on the 2nd floor. At least there was no entry charge.

LOVEEE, my second time going, although i will say sometimes the topics they choose to display can be quite disappointing and not interesting but i guess everyone’s taste is different

They are a free Art Gallery accepting donations, and they have a lovely cafe attached. There is also a huge patio they have built where are you can get drinks next to the water. On a popular day When the weather is nice, you should expect a queue.

A great arts venue showing a varied range of modern art. It also has a large cinema/performance space, well stocked bookshop and large bar and restaurant. It’s position in the centre of Bristol’s Harbourside has made it a pivotal component of Bristol’s cultural life.

Definitely a 10/10 experience for me. The staff at the front desk was really helpful by mentioning what I’d find interesting on all the floors when I mentioned that it was my first time visiting the Bristol Museum. I was impressed by the artworks, silver and porcelain collection.

Free entry - though I gave £5 well Worth it. Great art collection for a gallery this size. Good variety from French Impressionism to 15th religious artworks. Nice and quiet. Good lighting and great descriptions to accompany the work.

Highly recommended when you’re in Bristol! 💛 The exhibits and art pieces are amazing, the staff are super lovely and helpful, and there’s even a cozy café onsite ☕ Plus, they have an interactive area for kids — perfect for families too!

So much to see and learn for free, highly recommend! You can spend hours here easily! My favourite section was the animals, just check out the photos.

Beautiful art, plenty of fossils and beautiful history to look to. Their gender exhibition was lovely too. The only thing that was kind of surprising was the fact that the museum closes at 5PM. I know the staff works hard and they're knowledgeable but I wish it was open a bit later, especially on the weekend. I feel like if they had a ticket price on entry, they might compensate a few more people's time to provide knowledge to the curious folk past 5PM. I'LL DEFINITELY COME BACK THOUGH!!!

The staff here were very helpful, and the art and exhibitions were interesting. There is a lot to see, and a lovely cafe and gift shop. We saw the gender exhibition, which I would highly recommend, there was an amazing array of art and artefacts, and the theme of the whole section is so important. Definitely worth a visit.

Bristol Museum & Art Gallery is a true cultural gem! Housed in a stunning Edwardian Baroque building, it offers an impressive array of exhibits—from ancient Egyptian mummies and Assyrian reliefs to dinosaur fossils and local wildlife displays. 😍😍. The art galleries feature works spanning centuries. What’s more, admission is free, making it an accessible and enriching experience for all. Whether you’re a history buff, art enthusiast, or just looking for a family-friendly outing, this museum is a must-visit in Bristol.

Inspiration for young to start a new career. Dedication is needed first. Then you can give the world your original. Remember. The world admires any original.

An excellent gallery. Newly refurbished with greatly improved accessibility and an excellent cafe. A varied set of exhibitions including the annual open submission each autumn. The gallery spaces are really beautiful in themselves. Enough room to show substantial pieces or a large exhibition without overwhelming. Two smaller rooms are usually free to enter. The main gallery usually charges a fee. There is an active friends group.

Lovely historic building with attractive cafe. The annual open exhibition is very interesting and well presented. The art is also reasonably priced if anything takes your fancy.

I visited for the annual open exhibition when there is a large variety of artwork on display. There are regular events for all ages that need to be booked in advance. There is level access entry and lifts to the galleries. The connected coffeeshop is also worth visit.

nice art gallery, mostly extremely modern, i didn’t understand most of it. free for students, which is great. amazing little shop and cafe. staff lovely. great views of bristol

There are several galleries and exhibitions going on. The second floor is usually thematic. When I went, there’s an exhibition about African art, renewal and refugee. There are works of Monet, Pissarro, Heartfield etc. Downstairs there’s a gallery on Brexit and illustrations of Brexit for children’s books. The admission is free for students. There’s also an academician gallery. Definitely worth a visit. Since the exhibition changes, it may be worth it to get a membership at the RWA.

Best part of Rwa is the people that work there that are passionate about art and what they do, and care really truly informed about everything! I specially liked the girl behind the desk at the main entrance, very good at giving information and helping out with anything needed, she was very cool. I highly recommend rwa just to meet the awesome staff and the art obviously! The coffee is also one of the best I have had in Bristol.

Free admission. Came for a quick peek, ended up staying half a day. M Shed nails the balance between history and machinery: raw, unfiltered Bristol told through docks, cranes, buses, and grit. The working cargo crane outside was the highlight. Loved the underground sewage exhibit more than I probably should’ve. Don’t skip the upper floors: great panoramic views and a quieter vibe. Insider tip: visit midweek mornings to dodge the crowds, and check if the crane or steam train is running, they do demo days.

The M Shed is a fantastic free museum that offers a fascinating look into Bristol’s rich history. From the city’s industrial past to its cultural heritage, there’s so much to learn and explore. The exhibits are well-presented, engaging, and suitable for all ages. It’s a great way to spend a few hours and come away with a deeper appreciation for Bristol. Highly recommended for locals and visitors alike!

It's an OK museum but very mixed up. Also it is only a very small snap-shot of Bristol's history. No mention of Brunel, Fry's or even Bristol Blue Glass. The theme seems to be more focused on Bristol people and how they lived rather than the history of Bristol. But hey....... it's free. One thing I did learn was that Bristol has it's own currency. A bit like Mickey Mouse money and probably now only limited (local) shops will accept them as legal tender.

Fantastic free museum - thought provoking, interesting and fun. Some really important historic moments showcased in a unique and accessible way. Really well laid out, lots of areas to rest and a very nice gift shop. In a lovely location on the harbour, easy to get around. Would highly recommend it if you're in the area!

Neat museum, quite information-dense for its size, took me just about 1.5 hours to peruse all the galleries. A part of that is that the galleries aren't particularly laid out in a straightforward manner, unfortunately, so it can be fairly confusing to navigate within each gallery. Entry is free but donations suggested. The steam train runs on specific weekends, and is a nice ride along the waterside for £3.50 one-way or £5 return. It seems to run on a half-hourly basis starting from 11am.

Wonderful museum about the history of Bristol. We visited to see the Rebel Curators' GRIOT interventions in the Bristol People gallery, in between checking out of our hotel and catching the train home. The team member we spoke to at the reception desk was extremely helpful, answering our questions and advising on what else to see as well as recommending the café for our lunch. Bristol People is a well thought out gallery, combining traditional displays about local history with a newer display about Bristol's radical history, including the Bristol Bus Boycott and the Colston statue. The GRIOT interventions form part of the display about Bristol's part in the enslavement of African people and use graphics to point out content that is offensive and harmful for people of Black African and Caribbean heritage and to suggest different ways of presenting the story of the slave trade. It's a really powerful display and I hope it influences future redisplay of this part of the gallery, or becomes more than a time limited intervention. We didn't have time to explore the Bristol Places gallery, bit we will definitely make a return visit next time we're in Bristol.

This was a fascinating museum to visit, delving into the cultural history of Bristol! Exhibits of items the working class had like masks and First Aid kits are on display, alongside Just Stop Oil and other reasons protests were held. The very statue of Edward Colston that was toppled remains here and his story is told as well as the reasons behind the toppling, giving a glimpse to both sides of the situation! Manufacturing is a focus from the wooden models of ships and clothing or textile companies with their logos shown, entertainment is dived into as cameras are kept here and the adaptation info about Wallace & Gromit in the city. Old food items can be seen as they would have in shop windows with the opportunity to even create a fake basket of one's groceries, development of different neighbourhoods through decades is touched on there's a model of Clifton handmade too. Multi coloured old buses are a grand sight outside under the cargo cranes live in operation, the passenger usage of the Harbour Railway then how it became only for freight is written out and it was marvellous to be able to walk up to the site seeing former freight carriages!

Need to be looked after if it’s part of tourism list. I felt this place has been neglected due to its emplacement. Sad but we liked the fact people that believe in their art doing what they can to keep it alive

I’d give Centrespace in Bristol a 2/5. Honestly, the whole thing felt more like a dull school project than an actual art exhibition. Most of the pieces looked basic, uninspired, and seriously lacking in colour. I swear I saw more creativity in my GCSE art class, and that’s not exactly a glowing compliment. Walking around, I kept waiting for something to grab me, but nothing did. The place just felt flat and lifeless. The funniest part is the graffiti in the alleyway outside had way more imagination and flair than anything on the gallery walls. When street art outshines the curated show, you know something’s gone wrong. The one saving grace was the rat artwork. That piece actually had some personality and was pretty cool to look at. But one decent piece isn’t enough to carry a whole exhibition. Overall, it felt like a waste of time and made me wonder why I didn’t just stay outside and look at the alley graffiti instead.

Amazing hidden , spacious location to hire and view exhibitions tucked away in the centre of bristol!

Mamy street arts along the street. If you are into graffiti art and you need a place to draw then this street is the best for ya.participated in an exhibition that was well organized and found many interesting pieces.

Great Gallery Space for Art, Photography etc etc

A hidden gem for interesting art exhibitions, I try to go a few times a month. If you get the chance, visit on their studio open days.

A fabulous location along a Quirky lane in the centre of Bristol. Free exhibitions that showcase different genre, topics local groups and artists. Always well displayed with some fabulous alternative work. Love it.

Waited 16 yrs to visit this wonderful house and it was well worth the wait! All the gathered information helps to bring the house alive. One of my favourite places to visit in Bristol. Volunteers are very helpful.

Free to enter but leave a donation to help it be looked after. Great experience and thought provoking with it being a plantation owners business address. Need to keep these places going so you can see what it was like in those times.

An interesting visit to the Georgian House Museum just now, definitely worth checking out "Free Entry" too! 🤔 🏠 👍

Under-visited museum that's well worth a look around in my view. It's centrally located and donation-based for entry. We were shown around by a really informative guide who was able to make the visit a more storied experience. It's quite tardis-like, with lots to see on four? floors. The rooms contain original furniture and I think the whole place offered a real insight into class and society in the Georgian era. It does feel odd touring a place with deep ties to the trade in enslaved people, but the curators have made some effort to acknowledge that role and encourage visitors to ask questions and explore it. There's a small gift shop selling local books and a few other bits and bobs, but no food to my knowledge (although Park Street is a minute or two's walk away!). Most floors were not accessible as far as I could see.

A Georgian property presented as it was in it's heyday. Very interesting and at times sobering, hugely well informed and friendly staff. A great find and an excellent way to spend an hour or so.

First visit here this year. Brilliant family trail and activities on the day we went. Fascinating house, lovely interpretation, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Definitely going back. Be warned, no toilet, but the concert hall directly opposite has public toilets so it's not a disaster.

We went on Saturday afternoon and got a mini (5-10 minute) guided tour of the first two rooms by a very knowledgeable and engaging guide (without having booked), then explored the rest of the house at our leisure. Basically exactly what you want from a museum visit!

Only took us 40 years to visit, don't leave it that long. Very interesting place in its own right but was originally part of a large estate. I was very confused at the beginning due to misunderstanding the timeline. The guide I spoke to was very patient and took the time to put me right. A couple of hours is long enough if you're short of time. When we visited there were 3 volunteers dressed in clothes of the day, beware they will only represent what is going on in the 17th century. Do check times of opening.

Loved all of the rooms (especially the top floor as it was original from the Tudor period) and there was a staff member who was so comprehensive in answering all my questions. Fascinating learning about their discovery of the well too! Donation based and there is no pressure put on to make one.

Very beautifully preserved Tudor style house in Bristol, a must visit for designers, restores and anyone with an interest in architecture.

Beautiful wee relic with a lovely Tudor knot garden. I got vertigo on the well which hadn't been discovered last time I visited. Completely free too and team working there obviously love it.

A wonderful place to visit. Visiting involves entering through the small red door on Park Road and immediately going down a flight of stairs. It is then suggested you go up the majestic staircase to the level that has fantastic wood panelled rooms with objects and art works from the Tudor period. You then go back downstairs to the rooms where you started. The well in the small back room is a bit of a treat, only discovered this century, it is well presented as a feature of the floor with a glass cover. Thirty to fourth minutes would be enough time to visit this site. However, given the number of stairs I would recommend checking with the museum if they have options for those with limited mobility.

A building with a very interesting history. I highly recommend booking a tour to get the most from your visit. Ian our guide gave us so much fascinating information about the phases of the buildings existence, the people involved, and how this fitted into the history of the city. Bombs in the last war destroyed much that was nearby so the survival of this beautiful building is to be cherished and enjoyed. The tours are very reasonably priced and from our experience you will be shown around by someone with great enthusiasm and knowledge about Red Lodge and its history. Best to book the tour on-line before you go.

Love it here, a really fascinating look into Bristol’s past. We came on a special Halloween day and got to go down to the cell. Bf just got told via text he had to do overtime down there - haunting stuff.

Brilliant day out for all ages. There is so much to see and do.Great information give ever where ,you can buy a very good guide book with all the information about the ship and docks yard.There is a dry dock, dock museum, Brunel museum the surrounding dock yard and best of all the ship.There are 3 main decks to explore. The staff are really lovely and can answer all your questions. There is a small cafe on the ship whit is very nice.Thete are toilets on the ship,in the museum and the shop.The museums are packed full of items related to the ship and Brunel .There is a well stocked shop and a cafe by the shop.You can use your tickets to return for a year.We spent about 5 hours exploring everything. I might recommend a vist

It was a great experience! The museum is absolutely stunning, especially the ship with the realistic figures — it truly takes your breath away. The lady dressed in the old-fashioned gown was amazing! I’ve visited the place twice, and each time I discover something new. Don’t forget to explore under the ship — I did that on my second visit — and above the ship, which I saw the first time. Totally worth visiting! 🚢✨

We visited here two years ago and wer impressed then, this visit did nothing to diminish that feeling. We really enjoyed the history of the Historic Dockyard and the SS Great Britain. The staff and volunteers are amazing and really friendly, plus the information they provided us was really interesting. The way it is layed out was very fluid allowing you to see an experience the life of this ship and the LIfe of Brunel. A must see when you visit Bristol.

Haven't been here for years but it's certainly worth a visit now. The last time I went I think the ship's hull was still open to the elements, it's now contained within a temperature controlled environment. They've done an excellent job with the museum and the continuing restoration of the ship. The ship's been 'dressed' brilliantly too! A fantastic experience!

You like ships and you enjoy history, so you're visiting right? Do, its worth it. Start in the shop, worth a peruse, then down and walk around the hull but with a little twist, you're under water or are you...? Worth mentioning, very humid in here but needs to be. Then, into the main museum and the history, not going to spoil the story here but interesting. Wind your way up and then onto the ship itself. Apparently, could house up to 700 passengers,good luck working out where they all slept! All in all,very enjoyable and would definitely bring the grandkids next time. Enjoy!

The ship and the man behind it are a very interesting historical story. The site covers both super well. It is easily one of the historical sites in Bristol. Be sure to check out both sides of the museum and the movie. Also be sure to ask about live presentations. They really add a lot of backstory.

Awesome museum with friendly knowledgeable staff. The ship itself is an awesome sight to see and the information provided by both the museum and the Brunel museum really helps you approacciate how revolutionary his vessel was at the time and see the genius of it's designer. A fine example of British engineering at its best. Access to the ship is good including for wheel chairs and children although I would be careful in the lower steerage class areas as the floors are not that level. The fact you can return on one ticket for 12 months shows great value. Parking is practically next door to the ship although remember Bristol has signed up to the clean air charge so expect to be charged for visiting and bringing money to the city.

We recently bought Our Walk by Cat Croxford from Clifton fine art and I have to say, the whole experience was very good indeed. We were well looked after, the painting arrived quickly and there were some nice touches in how it was wrapped and how we were treated as customers. The painting itself is stunning and surpasses our expectations when up in our dining room. I find myself getting lost in it occasionally. It is very beautiful. We will almost certainly buy Cat’s work again.

I recently bought The Wilding Shaw, by Cat Croxford and the whole experience, from first spotting it in the gallery window, to having it delivered to my home, has been a delight. Thank you Dom, for your professionalism and friendly approach. Buying art should be a pleasant experience and you ensure that it is.

Amazing gallery and space! Love the works here and Rowan is absolutely beyond helpful and gracious. He went out of his way to extend his hours for us to shop and even gave us recommendations for what to see and so while we were in town. Can’t wait to come back and buy more art!

Great service. After initially being overwhelmed, Dom patiently helped us narrow down to our final choice - a stunning Charlie O’Sullivan - without any pressure. The whole experience was a pleasure. We hope to return.

Walked into this gallery while visiting Bristol, and encountered a breathtaking selection of art on display. What a find! I was inspired to buy some pieces for the first time. Rowan was very helpful and took care of the whole process of shipping them back home.

The problem with a lot of galleries (especially the chains) is that it doesn't feel that they are invested into the artists. I get the sense that at Clifton Fine Art they really care about every artist and every piece of art they have on display and they want to find something that you connect with. I recommend a visit to have a look around, but most importantly, have a chat about what you like and see where it takes you.

We popped in while passing, just an off-chance, and ended up buying a fantastic painting! We were looked after by Dom who shared lots of time, patience and knowledge about several of the artists they represent. No hard sell, but practical offers to help us consider if this was the right piece for us. Once we had decided, Rowan was very helpful making arrangements for Dom to make the 3 hour trip to East Anglia. The experience was great and we are delighted with our art.

Fab views, easy to walk across and you can see birds of prey diving and hunting from the end. There is a free museum that tells you all about Brunel and the bridge - we didn’t go but it looked interesting. £1 for cars to cross but free for foot passengers.

A must do when visiting the Clifton Suspension Bridge is visiting it by foot. There is a great walk from the river going up (you have to cross a busy road, but it is worth it as you see the bridge from different heights and angles. There is a digital tour with lots of information, download recommended!

Before sharing my review, I want to acknowledge that the Clifton Suspension Bridge, despite its beauty, has sadly been the site of tragic losses. That’s why it’s so important to remember that help is always available. The Samaritans can be reached 24/7 at 116 123, with compassionate people ready to listen and support you through any situation. Remember, you matter, and the world is brighter with your smile in it. The Clifton Suspension Bridge is truly a sight to behold. Its beauty is breathtaking, especially when viewed from afar with the Avon Gorge beneath it. The bridge is steeped in history, having been designed by the famous engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel and completed in 1864. Walking across the bridge is free, and it gives you an incredible perspective of the surrounding area. Driving over it costs £1.50 for cars, which feels fair considering its importance. Visiting at night is especially beautiful with the lights turned on, creating a magical atmosphere. The bridge is not just a stunning piece of architecture, but also a vital link for transportation in the area and a symbol of Bristol itself.

We walked 40 minutes on a rainy day to see the Clifton Bridge and it was well worth it. The views were spectacular and the bridge itself a feat of engineering, fascinating.

Love our visit to the bridge! However, the drive up to the bridge was a tricky one for me. Narrow two way roads with cars parked either side, with lots of sharp u-bends. Once at the destination we were lucky enough to find parking on the street (i felt we were lucky with that space). Parking cost almost £7 via the RingGo app- I’d advise to download this beforehand as we had poor phone signal which made it difficult. Walk to the bridge is short and once there incredibly impressive. The walk across is only open on once side at the moment due to maintenance on the other side- regardless, the view is a great one! Walked back over to then take the short walk up to the observatory tower for a much better view of the bridge (in my opinion). The observatory has a cafe and a cave for another different view of the bridge. Apart from the last 10 min drive up to the bridge and paying for parking, it’s brilliant. Exactly what it says on the tin and a beautiful scenic walk and view. Highly recommend!

Passed through the bridge on the way to Wales. It's a nice piece of history and in good weather offers a nice view along with being able to marvel at the engineering. The area is nice and there are coffee shops close by. If you drive over you have to pay £1

A Timeless Icon of Engineering and Beauty – Clifton Suspension Bridge Clifton Suspension Bridge is more than just a way to cross the Avon Gorge—it’s a breathtaking symbol of Bristol’s heritage and ingenuity. Designed by the great Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the bridge seamlessly blends 19th-century engineering brilliance with stunning natural surroundings. From the moment you approach, the views are simply unforgettable. Whether you’re walking across or gazing from the Clifton Observatory, the panoramic sights of the gorge, River Avon, and surrounding countryside are spectacular at any time of day. Sunset, in particular, casts a golden hue that transforms the entire scene into something magical. The bridge itself is an architectural marvel. Elegant and enduring, it continues to function as a vital crossing while drawing visitors from around the world. There’s also a small Visitor Centre nearby, offering insight into its rich history and the challenges faced during construction. Whether you’re a tourist, photographer, history enthusiast, or just someone looking for a quiet spot to reflect, Clifton Suspension Bridge delivers. It’s not just a bridge—it’s an experience.

We The Curious — A Wedding Venue That’s Truly One of a Kind We’ve had the absolute pleasure of photographing weddings at all sorts of venues, but We The Curious stands out as something really special. The planetarium ceremony space is unlike any other — an immersive dome that creates this incredible intimate atmosphere, perfect for couples wanting something unique and memorable. Sure, the low light can be a bit tricky, but that just adds to the mood and makes for some truly cinematic photos. The rest of the venue offers great flexibility with beautiful event rooms and balconies overlooking Bristol’s cityscape. The terrace is a favourite spot for guests to relax and mingle, especially if the weather plays ball. Plus, having the museum open for guests to explore after the ceremony adds an extra layer of fun and interaction that you just don’t get elsewhere. From a photographer’s point of view, We The Curious is a playground full of interesting spaces and colourful backdrops — perfect for creative couple and group portraits. It’s a venue that’s quirky, thoughtful, and full of heart. We can’t recommend it enough for anyone looking to throw a wedding that’s as unique as their love story.

I can't say enough good things about my experience with We Are Curious Bristol! From the moment I stepped in, I felt a genuine sense of warmth and community. The team is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, and it truly shows in every interaction. They have a fantastic range of events and workshops that are both thought-provoking and fun. I recently attended one on sustainable living, and I came away feeling so inspired and equipped with practical tips I could actually use. It’s clear they put a lot of care and effort into everything they do. If you're looking for a welcoming, engaging, and genuinely curious space in Bristol, this is it. Highly recommend!

I went to We The Curious in Bristol with my nephew and honestly it ended up being one of those days where both the kid and the adult end up enjoying it just as much as each other. The place has this mix of science, colour and hands on stuff that keeps you busy without even realising how fast the time goes. We both had our own favourite bits. For me, I really liked how interactive everything is. Nothing just sits there gathering dust, you actually get to press things, spin things and figure stuff out. My nephew absolutely loved the colour octagon wheel, and I have to admit I did too. It is so bright and weirdly satisfying to play around with. We must have stood there for ages just messing with it. Another thing I really liked was how friendly the staff were. They actually talk to you like they enjoy being there. My nephew loved the little experiments section where you can try out different gadgets and watch stuff light up or move. It kept him completely focused which is rare for him. The planetarium though, that is the best bit of the whole place. You go in thinking it is just a dome with stars, but it is amazing and creative and feels like you get pulled into the show. Barney the host was brilliant as well. Really funny, really clear and you can tell he enjoys what he does. He made the whole thing feel alive, like you are actually floating around space instead of sitting in a room in Bristol. I also liked how much variety there is. Every corner has something different going on. My nephew enjoyed the section with shadows and lights, and we both liked the big mechanical displays you can play with. By the end of it we were both tired but still felt like we could have stayed another hour. Overall We The Curious is one of those places that gets science right. It is colourful, creative and fun without feeling like school. If you go with kids they will be buzzing, but even as an adult you end up enjoying it more than you expect.

Few things were interesting and interactive Very busy on our visit i would avoid day entry which was £20! entry after 3 is £11 and probably a lot quieter. We missed out on half of the activities because it was so over crowded. Following on others reviews on google it does seem more philosophical than science-y. Would still recommend to visit as a time filler

We had a fabulous time here on Sunday afternoon. It was well organised and really interesting. As 2 adults we thoroughly enjoyed "playing" with all the hands on exhibits. It's fascinating, fun and educational all at once. A lovely lady called Shannon demonstrated a few things for us and gave us some interesting facts too. She was really knowledgeable and helpful. The planetarium show was an added bonus and amazing with the 3D glasses! Arthur gave us an excellent interstellar "tour" which was fun for the children but still interesting for adults and fascinating for everyone. He has a lovely manner and explained everything very clearly. I would thoroughly recommend this to young and old alike. It's fun, interesting and the staff were all lovely. 😉

Generally great, and kids will love it. The half price after 3pm is a good option in these price tough times (although there is certainly enough to keep you busy more then 2hrs!) Naturally it can be pretty chaotic, but there is a wide range of interactive games, learning experiences and fun activities. Tickets brought online beforehand was fine but it's always so annoying having to create an account and set a silly, long password just to book tickets, grr 🥺 guest checkout plz

My 10 years son enjoyed his time spending at the museum. Personally, I would prefer more interactive games or stuffs he can play. He like making his own video the most because he had done similar stuffs at school. Might come back in a couple year time.

A fantastic and absolutely beautiful museum. History meets engineering genius, science, technology and architecture, all in one fantastic venue. Seeing the Concorde, then going inside it was an absolutely amazing experience. The staff were very helpful and friendly. There's a cafe - 'Flight Line' with seating area. There's also a gift shop. An outdoor playground with an aeroplane shaped ride for young children. Entry tickets are sold on site.

We bought our tickets online with a 10% discount but could have bought tickets at the door no problem. We visited during the summer holidays so it was busy but not hectic. There is lots to learn here and not just about the Concorde. The layout is easy to follow just by following the arrows on the ground when you get in, the volunteers are so lovely and helpful - Barry & Cathy had some great info and conversation. Definitely worth the visit.

The Aerospace complex is an amazing place, lots of history, lots of technical info, volunteers are knowledgable and very helpful. Tckets bought once are valid for 1 year, so we can come back and visit this place again, which is amazing. The complex is situated in ULEZ free area of Bristol which is the main important thing for us from the outside Bristol area. I do highly recommend it as a day trip with or without children.

An amazing experience if you find anything to do with planes interesting. Spent 3 hours there and could have done more but had another event to attend. There was an amazing amount of history in one place on how aerospace evolved over the years. If you find planes and their history interested this is definitely one to go to! Highly recommmend it!

Came here for a visit for my birthday. Highly recommended by a few of my friends and they were completely correct. It's an absolutely brilliant place to learn all about Concorde and lots and lots of other aviation history. And also a huge amount of information on the Bristol car and Aeroplane company. We really enjoyed our time and will be visiting again in the future. Absolutely lovely staff all the way around. Everyone was happy to talk and provide as much information as you can take. Definitely recommend 🙏

Super cool museum if you like technology, planes and aerospace. Interactive and very informative, the museum is divided into section based on historical periods. Didn't know the Bristol heritage in aerospace industry. The Concorde itself is worth the ticket (which is not super cheap, honestly). You can save a couple of pounds if you book your ticket online. You can also go back for free within 365 days. The museum is also reachable by bus from Bristol City Center in about 50 mins.

I love it here I can't get enough of going to see concorde. There something new each time of coming. Staff can't help you enough and a brilliant newly refurbished cafe.

What a brilliant experience! Staff really helpful and the experience ace! Lots of different stuff that would suit ages 8 up. My 11 year old daughter and her mate loved it! The cafe and facilities really good too. Just get there early to park or park nearby and walk.

Fun place which is made up of lots if interlinked rooms and spaces. Each is cleverly decorated and lots of good illumination. There is a theme to the tour but it's hard to follow. Perhaps an explanation at the start? The experience for us is more about finding secret doors and hidden places. Went with a large. Party of age 7 to 73. Found it's easy for the young ones to race ahead with the risk of them getting lost.. I though it was expensive especially for children and no reduction for the elderly at all. We went round following the children in 1 hour 45. Hardly any puzzles to slow us up. We waited to go in the car park and you pay inside the reception on leaving, if you don't have the unusual parking app.

I visited with my daughter who is approaching seven years old and we both had a fantastic afternoon. A really fun, immerse experience, she is desperate to visit again and would no doubt get even more out of the visit at a slightly more advanced age. So much to look at and interact with, a truly fantastical journey which really opened her eyes in so many ways. We definitely hope to visit again.

A Truly Unique and Immersive Experience 😁👍 Wake The Tiger offers an exceptional and imaginative experience unlike anything else in the UK. The level of creativity, detail, and storytelling throughout the exhibits is outstanding. It’s engaging for both adults and children, making it a perfect family day out. One small note — the entrance can be slightly confusing to find, as it’s located close to a Breedon construction plant, but once inside, the experience is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend visiting if you’re in Bristol or fly by.

From the creative genius’ of Boomtown, this is an amazing immersive experience. I’d eyed it up for a while and eventually got to go and it was everything and more. Not only is it great for all ages, they cater for everyone too. They do sensory friendly days/times, and they have events there too. I’m recommending it to all my friends so they can enjoy it too.

Wake The Tiger in Bristol is one of those rare places that manages to surprise even someone who believes they have exhausted every unusual experience the city has to offer. You step inside expecting something quirky and instead you are swept into an entire universe that seems to breathe around you. The colourful rooms tucked inside the darker spaces glow like precious stones, each one humming with its own energy. Some of them are so vivid and richly designed that I found myself pausing just to absorb every detail. The rooms filled with giant colourful mushrooms and glowing decorations instantly brought the world of Avatar to mind. Everything feels both biological and fantastical, as though you have wandered through the heart of an alien forest. Then you turn a corner and stumble into areas that feel like parts of a settlement from a Fallout video game. Spears and repaired structures suggest a community stitching its world back together. Just as you think the journey cannot shift further, the black and white dizzy room appears. It felt like stepping into the twisted imagination of Willy Wonka. The swirling patterns play with your senses and make the entire room feel alive. I absolutely adored it. Near the end I arrived at a room dominated by a glowing crystal ball with laser lights sweeping across the floor. It had all the energy of Tron. For a moment I forgot I was in a building in Bristol. I felt as if I had stepped directly into a realm of electric dreams. And then there are the hidden passageways. These are woven throughout the experience like secrets waiting for the bold to notice them. One of them was a vending machine that acts as a door. I found that incredibly creative. It is a wonderful reminder that this place is not meant to be walked through passively. It is meant to be explored. The best way I can describe the experience is that it felt as if someone plucked me from my seat and tossed me straight into the film Coraline, and once I crossed into that other dimension it was as though Coraline had collaborated with Avatar, Tron and Star Trek. It is imagination made physical. I must also commend the staff. I lost my nephew for a brief moment and they acted instantly with calm precision. They located him within minutes. For that I am forever grateful. Wake The Tiger is strange in all the best ways. It is bold, curious, beautiful and endlessly inventive. It invites you not just to look but to discover. It is not a simple attraction. It is a journey through creative minds that paint with colour, light and pure wonder.

Visited with my family and we were all really impressed. The sound and visual effects are incredible — every room feels alive and full of surprises. It’s creative, immersive, and fun for all ages. Such a unique experience, definitely worth a visit if you’re in Bristol.

A mixed bag of artists, not all my taste, but I really appreciate having the variety on offer to view and purchase. Staff are always very welcoming and informative. Have purchased a few items over the years and have always been very happy with them and the service received.

Upfest gallery is a must see places in Bristol. Very colorful and very beautiful.

One of the best framers I know. Used them on multiple pieces and the options and output is great!

Map was a little bit confusing to follow, but the entire experience was wonderful. Locals were very helpfull in directions when i got lost... multiple times.

Incredible artists. Street art at it's finest. Loads of great food too. Gets very busy but around midday it's easy to get round with kids.

Awesome art gallery with lots of contemporary pieces from a huge range of art styles. Definitely recommend a visit.

Amazing, clean street art, clearly appreciated and looked after by the local community. North Street is colourful and vibrant with delicious smells coming from a large variety of cafés and bakeries etc.

The staff are passionate about this little nest of goodness. Lots to learn and with the expansion on the horizon it will be good for school trips and people wanting to know the history of Frenchay. A pop up coffee station would also be a great asset along side as a suggestion.

A fantastic local museum and a treasure trove of history about the village and its inhabitants. I was fortunate enough to have a tour from Selena Brown. Friendly and knowledgeable Selena showed and talked me through the history of Frenchay. I’d definitely recommend visiting if you’re in or from the area.

Cute local museum, kid-friendly and interesting for adults alike!

Super friendly and helpful staff who were really knowledgeable about the exhibits and the history of the local area. The historic toys, dressing up and quiz make this a brilliant place to take kids. I would thoroughly recommend a visit to this fascinating museum.

What a little gem this place is. Pop in if you get the chance

Remarkable little museum with a lot of information and interesting exhibits packed into a surprisingly small space. So much to learn about all sorts of things and people with a connection to Frenchay. Well worth a visit.

A great little museum , with the story of Fry's the Chocolate maker and the world's oldest bar of chocolate on display . There's the history of the building being a hospital in the war and the American connection also being a T B center as well . The staff were very helpful and friendly and even found out a connection between my family and the Fry's . Egyptian artifacts were on display and a vacuum cleaner !(James Dyson). Also the museum had some old fashion toys to keep the younger generation amused . well worth a visit.

Fantastic exhibition, free of charge. The parking is well marked, although it is a bit of a loop drive to actually get to them, making me wonder if I've missed a sign but turns out it's just a long way round the buildings. The parking is operated by Ringo, free in the evenings and weekends. There is a clearly marked lift and the venue appears very accessible. You can get a coffee at the reception and grab a seat looking over the courtyard.

Simon is an outstanding teacher who is well able to clearly share and impart his comprehensive knowledge. His style is an engaging and interactive one pitching his talk at the right level for each of the attendees. There is no doubt he has improved my knowledge and so, hopefully, my practice. He is to be highly recommended.

Proposals to Projects course with Andy Golding This was my second course run by the RPS, and the first led by Andy Golding. It was hugely enjoyable! And I learned a great deal. Andy is knowledgeable, a skilled teacher, provides masses of learning materials, and is supportive. BRAVO!

As a long time member of the RPS, it was great to finally get here. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and we enjoyed a nice hot drink waiting for our son to arrive. The exhibition was excellent. The gallery was well lit, and we saw a well curated exhibition. Key dates in photography history on the stairs, nice touch. Good little bookshop promoting photographers in the exhibition. Really good display of vintage cameras in the window. The exhibition was free.

Had a great long exposure day in London with Nigel Wilson. Tips, tricks, viewpoints and good knowledgeable company.

Fantastic place. The exhibition gallery is very well designed and had some fantastic, though allow a couple of hours for gawping in adulation. A good diverse selection of styles and photographers when I visited (August 22). The staff were really lovely and helpful when I told them I'd not been before. The area its in (The Paintworks) feels a little labarynthine initially, but the gallery was easily found after a few minutes. It's opposite the Martin Parr Foundation (which has a free exhibition of an under-documented or emergent photographer) and there's a small outdoor gallery between the two (when I visited it was a BLM display). Entrance is free (donations possible) and all floors are served by a lift or stairs. There were free talks happening in the small lecture theatre on the ground floor when I arrived. The talk was really interesting and I learnt about a photographer I'd not heard of before. I believe the talks are also accessible on Zoom if you can't make it there. The society has a small coffee shop, which I didn't try, and there's a selection of photo books that you can buy in the entrance foyer. Toilets are individual gender neutral cubicles.

A free photographic exhibition space and a small cafe make this an interesting spot to stop off if you’re in this area of Bristol. Always brilliant photographs (as you would expect). Friendly staff. Sometimes a second exhibition is held in the public space immediately outside the gallery. The Martin Parr Institute next door makes for a good combination!

The Martin Parr Foundation includes an exhibition space that holds free changing photography exhibitions. We've been to many of these and they've all been worth seeing. The space is just the right size to hold a good sized exhibition without being overwhelming. They have a well stocked shop selling photography books and Martin Parr-related stuff. We've also been to an evening talk which was very good. It's in the Paintworks space so you can also go to the Miro Lounge for some food. If you fancy a short walk try Arno Vale cemetery or the river walkway (tricky right now as Sparke Evans bridge to walkway closed until mud-2026). If you are not in Bristol, it's about a 15 minute walk to Temple Meads railway station.

Consistently interesting photography exhibitions. Free to enter. Being next door to the Royal Photographic Society means that there is lots for anyone who is interested in photography.

This art gallery is located inside the Paintworks estate and was a bit difficult to find for us. It's mainly a single main room with the ongoing temporary exhibition, a book shop and a library. Next to the gallery you can visit the Royal Photography Society and the Arno Vale cemetery

Visited for the photography book event. Great venue and plenty to see.

The Martin Parr Foundation store has an amazing variety of photography books and hard-to-find collectibles, and the staff is incredibly helpful and will quickly get back to you if any issues arise. Highly recommended, both for the products and the service!! 💯

Great place, fascinating collections, lovely people. Awesome exhibition on there right now about fishing communities on the south coast.

Bristol is very lucky to have this vital archive and exhibition/events space on its doorstep. Thank you Martin Parr.

A long time favourite presenting a range of contemporary art that often challenges but always stimulates.

Cabot Tower has become an integral part of my daily routine, and I genuinely believe it’s one of Bristol’s most underrated treasures. As someone who walks up here regularly, I can confidently say it offers something special regardless of the weather or season. The tower itself is steeped in historical significance – built in 1897 to commemorate John Cabot’s voyage from Bristol to North America 400 years earlier. It’s a proper piece of Bristol heritage standing proudly in Brandon Hill Park, and climbing it never gets old. The 108-foot structure is free to access when open, which is remarkably generous for such an iconic landmark. The views from the top are absolutely spectacular. On a clear day, you can see right across Bristol – the Suspension Bridge, the city centre, the surrounding countryside, and on exceptional days, even into Wales. It’s genuinely breathtaking and provides perspective on just how beautiful this city is. Even the walk up through Brandon Hill Park is lovely, with well-maintained paths winding through greenery right in the heart of the city. Beyond the views and history, it’s the perfect daily exercise spot. The climb up the tower’s spiral staircase (roughly 100 steps) provides a decent workout, whilst the park itself offers peaceful walking routes away from traffic and noise. I’ve made it part of my daily constitution, and it’s done wonders for both physical fitness and mental wellbeing. Whether you’re a tourist, a history enthusiast, a photographer chasing that perfect Bristol shot, or simply someone who appreciates beautiful spaces, Cabot Tower delivers. It’s a Bristol gem that deserves celebrating

It was over a mile walk up a hill to the base of this tower and then wasn't sure if I had the energy left to climb it but I did and I'm so glad I did as what an amazing view you get and its FREE ! I didn't seen another person when I was there, it was 9am on Friday. The stone stairs are quite narrow, especially to the top section. I have added some 360 degree photos. I can highly recommend a visit to this. Take you time to take in the great views.

Amazing views of the city - the docks, the cathedral, St. Mary Redcliffe, the Wills Building, the museum, and all the other landmarks of the city. It's free which is a huge plus and open quit late I think so could be good for the sunset. Not too many steps - maybe about 150 or so, but it is on a hill so the views are great as it's quite high. Could be a little difficult just to get up the hill though - I approached it from behind so it wasn't too bad. The only real problem with it being free and unstaffed is there were a few beer bottles left on the floor at the top which was a shame but it was Hobgoblin mainly so at least a good beer!

The tower is worth the 10min walk from the bottom. The stairs are a little tight but when you get to the first floor, the view is spectacular, with information about locations and their direction. The second floor is a bit tighter, only for one person at a time but again, the view is spectacular.

Cabot Tower is an absolute gem in Bristol! Perched atop Brandon Hill, this 105-foot red sandstone tower offers breathtaking 360° views of the city, including landmarks like the harbourside, Clifton Suspension Bridge, and Bristol Cathedral. The climb up the narrow spiral staircase is a bit of a workout, but the panoramic vistas at the top are well worth the effort. Surrounded by the serene Brandon Hill Park, it’s a perfect spot for a picnic or a leisurely stroll. Best of all, it’s free to visit! A must-see for anyone exploring Bristol.

A hidden gem in Bristol steeped in history. Awesome view of the city when you reach the top. Recommend you visit during a quiet time of day, if you enter the tower as there is a very narrow circular staircase to ascend with only one way access, no passing places. only attempt if you are in good fitness. Not suitable for babies, dogs or the elderly.

Old tower in the middle of a park. You can go up for free during opening times (which vary based on the season: longer in summer, shorter in winter). Nice 360° view from the top. A few steps to reach the top but feasable, ok for elderly and all type of people (no accessible, though).

Beautiful Cathedral in Bristol. Free entry with a suggested donation of £5.00. Stunning inside with lots of interesting things to see, lots of information provided about the history. Beautiful glass windows and places of quiet reflection. Staff are welcoming and friendly and will answer any questions. Toilets and cafe availible on site and a lovely little garden with benches.

Bristol Cathedral is a stunning blend of history, architecture, and serenity right on College Green. The architecture is stunning, especially the tall vaulted ceilings and stained glass windows. Admission is free, and guided tours are available for those interested in delving deeper into its rich history. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, architecture lover, or seeking a quiet retreat, Bristol Cathedral is a must-visit.

The church is quite beautiful. While the majority of its current structure dates back to the Victorian era, its origins are significantly older. The gentleman stationed at the entrance was exceptionally kind and welcoming.

Really beautiful cathedral and plenty for visitors to explore. There is so much history for one to explore. For free entrance fee, this cathedral is really a must see in Bristol.

My cousin and I visited this place as I wanted to see it. It is very beautiful inside and out. There was a group rehearsing music for an Evensong Service which was enjoyable to listen to. There was also a display about slavery which was quite informative.

Highly recommended to visit. The staff are great, the cafe is awesome and the exhibition was informative. There are some beautiful places in the Cathedral to reflect and to be still.. just outside the cafe is a small garden.. beautiful.. Highly recommended to visit..

Bristol Cathedral is absolutely magical ! truly surreal and breathtakingly beautiful place. The architecture, atmosphere, and sense of history make it an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend a visit to anyone who appreciates stunning cathedrals or simply wants a moment of peace and awe.

We kicked things off with a couple of starters — the chicken croquettes were a standout: rich, creamy and topped with crispy chicken skin for that extra crunch and flavour. I also tried the burnt ends, which looked the part but didn’t quite hit the mark for me flavour-wise. For mains, the steak was smoky and cooked well — a solid plate that delivered on tenderness and portion size. There’s so many cuts and size options so lots of choice for big groups who might have varying stomach sizes and budgets! The sides were the real stars for me: the garlic spinach was buttery and delicious. Plus tell me a time truffle fries are not a good idea! The space itself is full of character, with bold, creative interiors and eye-catching artwork throughout. It’s a unique setting that definitely adds something extra to your meal.

I booked here for Mother’s Day and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. Grace was our server, she was lovely, attentive, and friendly. The food was very good, the roasts were very good, flavourful, and great portions for the price. My only criticism would be the beef on the roast could’ve been served pinker - but that’s personal preference; the piece of chicken was cooked well but more flavour is needed. However, my dad really enjoyed it so no complaints there. The yorkies are massssive too! I had the squid for starter and it was so good, crispy, and not overly oily. The flavour was well balanced. My mum had burnt ends and they were so tender. The chicken croquettes were surprising, big portion, very pretty, and my dad enjoyed them. Personally the squid was the best. I had the black garlic short rib and wow! Tender rip and amazing mashed potato. Surprising the mash was the star of the show for me - so creamy, smooth, and overall a simple mash done perfectly. I would recommend coming here for sure, the prices are reasonable for the portions and the flavours are pleasant.

We had a nice time at this restaurant. The food was delicious and truly underrated. Fortunately, it wasn't busy when we visited. The staff member who serviced our table was incredibly friendly and our little one really took a liking to him. Because of this, we are excited to come back again!

The food itself was well cooked and tasty. However, for a £31 steak to not come with any accompaniments (besides what can only be described as a single leaf and 2 small tomatoes) felt like very poor value, especially considering the high cost of sides and a sauce. The staff were nice and friendly however felt a little inexperienced. The view out of the window was almost hilariously unappealing because of the large signs reading ‘endoscopy clinic’ (although this is only some of the booth seating). The art theme was nice but half hearted with a selection of paintings and some interesting art at the table, although this felt a little run down. Knowing that the restaurant had art in the name, I was expecting the menu to be more than black text on white paper as in any other restaurant.

Steak of the Art isn't just another steakhouse; it's a unique fusion of a vibrant art gallery and a fantastic dining experience. If you're looking for a place with a lively atmosphere and a fresh take on the traditional steakhouse concept, this could be your next favorite spot in Bristol. Atmosphere and Interior Design One of the most praised aspects of Steak of the Art is its distinctive and art-filled interior design. The restaurant truly feels like a "living gallery," showcasing a diverse range of artworks, plush and boldly upholstered seating, and themed dining booths. This artistic ambiance elevates the dining experience beyond a simple meal, providing a fun and original backdrop perfect for a night out with friends or family. You can even purchase some of the displayed artworks if something catches your eye!

Excellent Pre-Theatre Steak at Steak of Art, Bristol! Just had a fantastic pre-theatre meal at Steak of Art in Bristol! The place has a brilliant vibe and the decor is genuinely great. Service was top-notch, really friendly and efficient. For food, I had the rib-eye and the missus had the rump, and both steaks were cooked absolutely perfectly. Totally recommend Steak of Art for anyone wanting a quality steak and a great atmosphere before a show.

First time visiting the steak was juicy and Smokey , chips were crunchy and fluffy with a nice seasoning on the outside . The chimichurri really compl complimented the steak and chips 10/10

This is a beautiful church, I had a good nosy around, and in the cellar if you go down the steps, you'll find a new cafe selling authentic homemade Chilean food, coffees and cakes. You won't be able to miss it because you'll do what I did and follow your nose, it smells divine! The beef empanada was beautiful, and it was so lovely to sit in the warmth and take in the surroundings. Really finished off my trip nicely.

A gorgeous place to visit, with lots of information about the history of the church and its attendants on boards around the building. The stained glass windows in particular are absolutely stunning. It’s free to enter, so do make a donation or buy something from the shop if you’re able to.

This is truly a beautiful church. Well worth a visit. It's even nicer than the cathedral tbh. Lovely volunteers there too

Beautiful church nestled in the heart of Bristol, well worth your time if you’re walking by this place. The gardens are well maintained and there’s plenty of material in the church itself to guide you through a visit.

Absolutely beautiful and spectacular place to visit,lots to see and plenty of history to read around the building

ST MARY REDCLIFFE, BRISTOL. This large church is often called the city's second cathedral, and though it immediately appears high Victorian gothic, its origins lie in the 14th century. The north porch is famed for its sculptures, 19th century on the outside and ancient within, including many showing a range of strange beasts, and it also has a 15th century roof. It was in a room above this roof that the story of Thomas Chatterton, the legendary but well-meaning forger, began when he found a chest full of antique manuscripts and decided to create some of his own, including new examples of Shakespeare. The church is full of memorials of all kinds, from simple slabs bearing tools of the deceased's trade to elaborate tombs with painted effigies. It is clear that Elizabeth I was much respected here, and her effigy, now fixed in an unusual stance on a wall atop a narrow base, is almost startling in appearance. The various restorations over the years have resulted in a huge number of antique pieces of sculpture arranged along the inner walls for the visitor to make a close study.

A beautiful church and apparently the favourite of Queen Elizabeth I. Links to the foundation of the USA and retain the armour of admiral William Penn. Links to Bristols place in seafaring history including the slave trade where those sold into bondage by their own people where trafficked.

We went on an incredible 45 minute harbour cruise on the Matthew today. Absolutely amazing - obviously this isn't the original ship, it was built 500 years after John Cabot's voyage to Canada in 1497, in 1997, but this replica has crossed the Atlantic itself - just as much of a feet on a boat I wouldn't even cross the Severn in! The cruise gives amazing views - we werr concerned by some spots of rain that suddenly arrived when we set sail but then it miraculously came out sunny, with amazing views. You can see the cathedral, Willis Tower, Cabot Tower (particularly fitting that it can be seen most of the way!), SS Great Britain, and even the Clifton Suspension Bridge. The boat is much taller and slower than the other river cruises/harbour tours so the views are better and it's a bit more relaxing. No commentary but the crew are really helpful and happy to explain and have a chat. I'd love to come back and do an Avon Gorge cruise under the suspension bridge when those begin again - but I'd highly recommend any cruise on this beautiful ship.

You can expect a warm welcome and a very enjoyable trip up and down the length of the Floating Harbour. We had booked the fish & chip excursion and our food was very nice at the mid-point when we moored up. There is also a talk from one of the crew, which is very informative about the history of the ship and of John Cabot. The weather was very good on the day that we visited, but be aware that your booked trip goes ahead pretty-much come rain or shine. There is no shelter on the ship, so if the weather is less good make sure you dress accordingly.

Really enjoyed the fish and chips cruise on The Matthew, such a lovely way to view the harbourside from high up like I have never seen it before. Delicious salt and malt fish and chips (generous portions) served half way through the trip. The crew were all lovely and very friendly. Thanks for a great trip!

A wonderful step back in time. The stewards are really knowledgeable and helpful. Family friendly, although children must be accompanied by an adult. Free veiwing but donations are relied upon.We will definitely be coming back to try one of the fish and chip events 😀

The Matthew of Bristol is a replica of John Cabot's caravel which he walked to Newfoundland in 1497. Built and sailed across the Atlantic to and from Newfoundland in 1997, it is a true working ship model of the genre and has real need of support since it is a trust reliant on contributions to continue is placed in Bristol's maritime heritage. Visit us, book a trip on us, support us.

i wasn't able to sail on The Matthew while i was in town, but i did board it and gave a look around... the ship's stewards were very friendly, and taught me a lot about the ship! i hope i'm able to return for a tour around the harbour...

Great fish and chips trip on The Matthew around the Docks. Weather was fab so that helped but a serene sailing and good hot food made it a perfect trip.

3.5 I like the animals and there were lots of vegan options in the cafe. There was a lady bird in a salad which was funny. Their goats were really friendly especially one that was pregnant. It was a shame that the staff and volunteers were not the same. One staff member and another. Two women staff seemed particularly rude and snotty and were exaggerating about the Geese pecking people. There was also no water for them to play in either.

I love Windmill Farm! Great activity to do with the family. My 3yo boys love it and they always have a good play with the diggers. Caffe with lots of options an quality products ♥️

A beautiful green and pleasant space, in the heart of the city! We had delicious lunch, bought gorgeous plants for our gardens and generally had a delightful afternoon. Lots for our 4 year old to enjoy and really so lovely just to wander around the place. I am curious to try the sauna and plunge pool and will definitely return, we love you Windmill Farm!

Super family friendly place. Eva's 1st birthday party here was lovely ...only issue is parking tricky in surrounding streets but you can park to drop off ...

Lovely place to explore, entry is free. Great place to bring kids. There's a car park and a place to lock your bike it you cycle down. It has a wide range of social, environmental, educational, recreational and economic activities like education courses, environmental courses, older peoples group, volunteer opportunities, young peoples activities in our Adventure Playground, a Children and Family day care centre, a working farm, Allotments and gardens and a wonderful café with outdoor area.

Lovely petting farm, great place to be with toddlers. Small playarea with pebbles and digger trucks. One can easily spend 2-3 hours strolling across fruit garden, fairy garden and woodlands. Fairly busy cafe with good snacking options. No admission fee and ample of parking spaces.

A stunningly beautiful and happy community space. A true haven from the city surrounding it. The gardens and paddocks are tranquil. It makes you proud to be a Bristolian yet transports you out of the city whilst you’re there. It’s impossible to feel unhappy here. I will be back to try the delights from the onsite cafe.

A lovely hidden gem in the heart of the city! The City Farm is a peaceful, welcoming space that offers a refreshing break from the urban hustle. It’s completely free to enter and you can get up close with a variety of friendly animals. There’s a cozy little café on-site. They also sell plants and products, so you can support the farm while picking up something special.

Great charity. I've brought the kids here many times over the years. Today it was just me having a walk around, very peaceful place.

I’ve never been here before although being in Bristol for over ten years, a really relaxing day out for two young kids. Animal farm was amazing for a first hand experience petting animals had the kids going crazy! After so much excitement we popped over the street to try out the farm cafe. I’ve ordered some coffee hash breakfast, beans on toast and hot chocolates for everyone. Food quantity and quality is worth the money, you could taste the freshness of the carefully procured ingredients. 5*out of of 5*

What a wonderful place. St Werburgh’s City Farm is the sort of place that makes you stop and think—think about life, about community, about the sheer, unadulterated joy of doing something useful with your hands instead of hammering away at KPIs and ROI projections that will ultimately mean nothing when you’re worm food. We came here today as part of a work volunteering scheme. And this is, quite honestly, one of the best days of the year for me. Our host for the day was the utterly brilliant Alex, the farm’s site manager. You meet a lot of people in life, and some of them just get it. Alex gets it. He has the rare ability to be both welcoming and efficient, gently herding our corporate rabble into something resembling a useful workforce without once making us feel like we were in the way (which, let’s be honest, we probably were). We dug holes. We built fences. We did some plumbing. We even built benches. But more than anything, we took time out of our lives to be in nature, to be with people, to be part of something real. Because that’s what this farm is: something real. It’s for the community, run by the community, benefitting the community. It reminds us that life isn’t about boardrooms or spreadsheets, but about connection, about getting your hands dirty and actually doing something. If you get the chance to visit, go. If you get the chance to volunteer, definitely go. You’ll do yourself some good. You’ll do the community some good. And, in the end, that’s what life is really about.

St Werburghs City Farm offers a wonderful urban farm experience perfect for families and nature enthusiasts. The farm is well-maintained and home to a variety of animals, providing a fun and educational visit. The staff are friendly and passionate about their work. Highly recommend for a delightful day out in the city.

A wonderful place for a Saturday morning breakfast, staff lovely, food fantastic and the overall morning excellent. Recommended if you got kids, come, got a dog, come, got a craving for probably the best bacon sandwich in Bristol definitely come.

Really cool and quirky place, really loved the hobbit house esque cafe, had a nice day here

A must visit in Bristol! Learning about the atrocities that “Israel” (and those who support it, the UK included) has pushed and committed on the Palestinian people and how this devastating evil has been going on for almost 80 years. The only one of its kind in the country, you are able to support Palestinians by buying Palestinian products made by Palestinians. So go, support, resist. It’s a duty!

A very informative little place. Completely free. Run by very friendly volunteers who are happy to help and answer any questions. So much information about the history, culture, geography, people of Palestine, links between Bristol and Palestine, and current affairs. Beautiful displays of traditional dress. Traditional music was being played. Up lots of stairs so probably not very accessible for those with mobility issues. Lots of written displays so probably not very accessible for people with low reading ability. You're able to buy produce there and items made in Palestine, with the money going towards those abroad who created the items and also towards the running of this not-for-profit museum. Such a lovely idea. Definitely worth popping in to learn about another country and its culture you're in the area.

Visiting the Palestine Museum and Cultural Centre was an experience I will never forget. It was not just a simple museum trip, it felt deeply personal and emotional from the moment I stepped inside. You can almost feel the history and the struggle in the air, like the walls themselves are carrying the voices of the people of Palestine. The exhibits take you through the history of Palestine in a way that is both heartbreaking and inspiring. There are photographs, personal items, stories, and cultural pieces that tell the story of a people who have endured so much but still hold on to their identity and strength. It is not like walking through a regular history museum, it is raw, it is real, and it forces you to reflect on what justice and humanity really mean. One of the things that stood out most was the incredible team of volunteers. They do not just stand there giving you basic information, they speak with passion, with knowledge, and with genuine care. They really make the experience come alive. I had the chance to talk with Liz, one of the volunteers, and she was amazing. She recommended a book to me called Ten Myths About Israel by Ilan Pappé, and just from the way she explained it, I could tell it is something that will open my eyes even further to the truth. I have already made a note to get hold of it. What makes the museum so moving is not only learning about the rich culture and heritage of Palestine but also confronting the painful reality of what is happening today. You cannot look at the evidence, the testimonies, and the history, and still deny what is going on. This is a genocide against the Palestinian people, and I honestly cannot understand how anyone could think otherwise after seeing and learning what I did here. The museum does not preach, it presents, but the truth it presents is powerful enough to break through any denial. Another important thing to mention is that entry to the museum is completely free. The fact that such a powerful place is open to everyone without charge shows how much the volunteers and organisers simply want people to learn, to understand, and to spread awareness. I left feeling shaken, heartbroken, but also grateful that places like this exist. They give a voice to a people who are so often silenced or misrepresented. They educate, they preserve culture, and they remind us of the importance of standing up for justice. If you are thinking about visiting, I cannot recommend it enough. Go with an open heart, be ready to learn, and be ready to feel. This is not just a museum visit, it is something that stays with you long after you leave.

IT's free and has alot to see and knowledge of Palestine and it's people we thought it was well thought out and interesting will go again and take the family we send prayers for the people of Gaza. ❤

Finally managed to visit this incredible culture hub! I think this is such a fantastic resource, with everything from timelines and posterboards that explain things in a way that anyone can understand, to local music videos and cookbooks. Great use of a small space, handy layout and friendly volunteers :)

Small place but very informative and a MUST stop in these ugly times. Open only in weekends, entrance is free of charge. A lot of stories and exhibitions by Palestinian people, which I recommend reading to embrace what it is really happening there. Some items on sale to support the cause. Nice panels about Banksy's work on the wall of West Bank.

Really beautiful initiative, friendly volunteers, plenty of information and volunteers seem to be well informed, picked up conversations and took time to explain to other visitors. However as an Arab I really wish there was more Arab even palestinian volunteers, everyone was wonderful but having people that have direct ties to the cause is very important, i tried to volunteer myself but no one got back to me.

A lot of history available through displays, guides, and the buildings themselves. Party of the history is the ongoing recovery from the 2023 arson attack, but thankfully many of the local businesses survived and, as before, there’s still always some lovely old boats being worked on or waiting to be worked on, with the chance to watch skilled tradesmen at work on hulls and professors. A lovely cafe canopy to sit under as well. Good coffee. Great pasties.

Interesting free attraction charting Bristol's industrial maritime history, with preserved equipment and interactive displays. Particularly impressed with the large map, with illuminating areas highlighting places of historical importance. There are volunteers around to answer questions, and on-site café and toilet facilities.

Took the puppy out for her second walk. This time around Bristol Harbour which has lots of sights to see. We had a lovely time and and had a cheeky coffee and flapjack here. The place is dog friendly and I could even go in with my pup to place my order. We then sat outside and admired the view of the river. All very relaxing.

Interesting exhibitions of our industrial and maritime heritage and a lovely coffee shop.

A wonderful attraction at the very western end of Bristol’s Harbourside. Lots of information about the harbour, the industries that used to be there and the engineering which enabled it all to happen. Lots of knowledgeable volunteers bring it all to life. A working boatyard to explore, a nice cafe and fabulous views of the harbour.

Great food and coffee, staff were very friendly and helpful. Well worth a visit.

Cute little spot by the water! I pop here for lunch sometimes — food’s nice (a bit pricey, ngl) but it feels worth it when the weather’s good. Sunny days make it extra lovely, rainy days still cozy though. Perfect for a little break. 🌊☕

Went with a friend on a Saturday, it was lovely to walk and talk, have coffee and cake. I wanted some food but found their kitchen closes by 2pm, but they were serving coffee,snacks and cakes. Beautiful and calming place to have a break from city life. Has quiet a few walking trails surrounded with lush greenery, loved it will be going there again soon 😊

Just took another walk along to Willsbridge Mill. It's well worth the walk on a lovely day. It's great to get out there away from everyday busy life. Nice little cafe down there to.

Beautiful place to visit, lovely walk down to the Mill from the car park. Coffee shop, toilets, more walks beyond the cafe. Pond full of tadpoles, rope swing, Mt grandson had a brilliant time.

Really nice place to visit for a few hours. Have a stroll around with the family and relax. Lots of life to see around the ponds and the stream. Good for really hot days as there is a lot of natural shade provided from the trees. Cafe is really nice, very well priced drinks and food.

Wonderful place to visit in any weather, lovely walks in all directions well worth a visit ,make sure when the cafe is open if you fancy drinks

My daughter got married there in one of their outdoor areas. We were allowed to decorate it the day before. We were left alone to get on with it . Lovely setting for weddings.

Lovely place, use to come here prior to the cafe opening. Still as nice just a bit busy. Cafe is lovely with gorgeous hot chocolate & tasty cakes. Similar smaller version of Snuff Mills by Frenchay.

Nice little community farm with goats, pigs, ducks, chickens and sheep. Entry and parking is free which is great. Really nice and accessible option for a quick trip with young kids.

Lots of goats, farm birds, and other animals. Local produce available for sale. There's a hireable space, too... Given that it is free to enter, it is a surprising little gem with a nice collection of walks. Will be back and plan to volunteer when my son is a bit older.

Was a lovely little farm. Nice and quiet with a short walk. A small river flows there and a bonfire / campfire place located in the woods. Overall a lovely experience with the kids.

Today we went on an exciting adventure to Lawrence Western Community Farm. There was a lovely lady called Anne who greeted us when we arrived, showed us around and told us where to buy the animal feed. At the farm, we fed lots of hungry animals. We bought goat and chicken feed from a little stall for 50p per bag. We had fun with the chickens following us as we fed them (but they were behind the fence!). We fed five greedy goats and their tongues were warm! You don’t have to buy feed, as they enjoyed eating grass from our hands too. Because it’s spring, the goats, pigs and sheep were having babies! Five adorable, black lambs had already been born when we visited – they were very cute curled up in the corner together! The pregnant goats were very large – we thought one of them must have been having twins! We hope to visit the farm again to see the baby goats. Well worth a visit!

It's not fully open yet but still a lovely place to go. The staff are friendly and the animals are clearly enjoying the extra attention again. The toilets are open and the hand washing facilities are spot on. We took our 6 month old son and he loved feeding the goats, even if they did have a sneaky nibble and lick of his toes. There are plenty of places to sit and the woodland walk is brilliant. All was accessible with a pushchair and the woodland walk had a raised wooden walkway.

Lovely place, been going here since I was a child. Great to be up close to the animals, just a shame there aren't a few more. The only thing the place needs is a cafe or coffee stand.

Much underrated and should be much more widely known! A fantastic place for kids, and never busy or crowded. Often they put on great events but on any day (closed Monday) it's great to come see the animals - chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep, goats. No cafe on site so bring a picnic.

Walked right around the whole path and didn't see any sculptures... Still quite a nice walk though, and came across a few friendly goats

Lovely walk I did with my 4 year old. Easy to park by the fishing pond and there's a lovely cafe next to it for a well deserved treat at the end. We loved looking for all the sculptures and marveled at how beautiful they were. I read on the website of the trail that this was all made by Ty's dad who created this trail as a way to honour his son's memory after he died of leukemia as a young adult. He loved exploring these woods as a child and reading this ahead made me grateful we get to do this and create precious memories with my tiny girl.

Such a lovely place a short drive from Bristol, great place to roam about and have have fun found a couple of sculptures but the big hit were the dens and rope swings! Easy to park nice pastries I n the farm shop. All round good day out for the kids

Absolutely beautiful! The story behind this sculpture trail is lovely, but heartbreaking. Just north of Nailsea, you can park at Jacklands Fishing Lakes and grab a trail map from their farm shop. The trail gets v muddy in places and there's a bit of a climb to get to it - the trail itself is pretty hilly, too. Lots to stay entertained by: the sculptures, a rope swing, a stream, dens hidden in the woods and more. Definitely recommended.

A beautiful woods near Bristol with beautiful small sculptures dotted around that make a great addition for children. The bubbling swamp is worth the short detour. The walk is about an hour, starting and finishing at jacklands fishing lake, that has a nice cafe shop with good coffee and cake. Steep in places and uneven underfoot for most of the trail so appropriate footwear recommended.

Lovely visit would highly recommend, bit muddy but don't let that stop you. Pop your wellies on, grab a map and a coffee from the café at the fishing lakes then off you go!

Lovely little place would be good for kids, doesn't take long to get around but still enjoyed it and wildlife, only few people walking around shame cafe wasn't open and nowhere to park and closed.

Small but informative museum about the life and work of George Müller. Plenty to read, as well as some interactive elements. We attended during the Easter holidays - the trail around the museum and craft activities kept my 13, 10 and 7 year old children entertained for well over an hour, while I had a leisurely time looking around. Refreshments were provided, including gluten free biscuits. The member of staff on duty was friendly and helpful. Free entry and free parking. Definitely worth a visit.

I LOVED wandering around this place and reading all the info. It is a lot of reading, but the info is all very inspiring and easy to read. FREE entry which is always a treat. Such a heart warming and encouraging history to learn about. There are toilets 🚻 in the building and free and paid for books to take or buy. 📖 There is a nice mix of info and interaction thought provoking stories to read. Nice chat with the girl who worked there which was lovely. Well worth a visit. :)

We had to ring the bell and a friendly lady opened us and explained the museum. The museum is well prepared displaying the main points of Georg Müller's ministry. We enjoyed it.

A bit difficult to find as it isn't signposted from the Main road. But the staff were brilliant and helpful. The exhibition was small but more than adequate. Came away with so much information about my grandmother who lived in the orphanage until she was 17 years old in 1895. My cousin from other side of the family lives in Kroppenstedt, the birthplace of George Müller.

Amazing museum. So so interesting to learn about this giant of the Christian faith. Although fairly small, this is a very informative and entertaining museum for all ages. Whether a Christian, or not, I would definitely recommend checking out this place, a great way to spend an hour or so. The staff were super helpful and friendly!

Here you come face to face with a little-known story of the making of modern Britain - the fairy-tale kind of story of one man (and his wife, daughter and son-in-law) who, in years when kindness to children was uncommon, built an institution to care for unprotected children. Beside their size, the solid structure of the buildings impressed me. Wow, kudos to George Muller and his successors!! May they win the race to make Britain truly Great! (First photo shows part of an overcast city on 20/02/20 as seen from Orphan House No 5, now the Ashley Down Centre, City of Bristol College)

We were visiting from the United States and we were on a driving tour of England, and while we were visiting Bath, I checked to see if there were any George Muller sites we could visit in Bristol. The George Muller Museum came up, and we decided to go for it. I'm so glad we did. It's a beautiful museum, and at the time we were visiting, it was only a few years old in its current location. Here's four things I loved about it: 1) It's free, which is expected, as George Muller never asked anyone to give to his work unless they felt prompted to on their own. 2) It's located in one of the orphanage sites, which gives you better sense of what life was like there. 3) It's informative. Even if you don't know the story of George Muller, you will know it by the end. (They have kid-friendly summaries of each of the informational stations as well. In fact, the whole museum is very kid-friendly without losing its appeal to adults.) There's lots of artifacts from George Muller and the orphanages he started (e.g., one of his Bibles, original uniforms, etc.). 4) It will stir your heart. I left with a sense of vision for our own time, and I'm grateful. If you can find a way, stop by the museum.

I have stood in prestigious galleries amazed by Chagall's work. I never dreamt that I would own one of his signed pieces and now I do! Wonderful, knowledgeable service from Stepanie and the gang at Hidden Gallery

A faultless experience buying artwork from the gallery and the Senior Manager Amy. Helpful throughout, always kept in contact, answered every question we had, brought the pieces over to our house so we could view them in the space and we are left with two pieces we identified from the outset hanging fabulously in our house.

When on a visit to Bristol I was delighted to come across this wonderful small gallery in the Clifton Arcade, housing a stunning selection of 20th century and contemporary artworks at affordable prices. Very much enjoyed browsing and chatting to Ellie who was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Love the Matisse lithograph I purchased which looks fantastic above the fireplace in my dining room! Excellent and very professional customer service throughout the process. Thoroughly recommend a visit to Hidden Gallery simply to browse, or to make a purchase.

Absolute gem of a gallery in Bristol! The team are super helpful and always offer personalised recommendations from their extensive collection! A must visit for any art fans in the area

First time I ever purchased an artwork from Hidden Gallery. Everything was perfect. Was truly impressed with the professional yet friendly service that I received. Highly recommended…A+++

Who knew I'd be able to have a real Matisse!!!! I have always admired Matisse work and was very pleased to find an original lithograph by him via Hidden Gallery and whats more, I could buy it over an instalment plan - the staff were very helpful in setting this up and it felt like no time to pay off and was interest free. The staff at Hidden Gallery were also so helpful, friendly and quick to respond throughout the whole process; picking my piece, the buying process and the delivery. Delivery was extremely quick and flexible. Also, the artwork was exactly as described on the website (although I think it's even better in real life.) I cannot recommend this service enough and will definitely use again. I'm so excited to hang my new artwork!!!!!

Highly recommend Hidden Gallery. You can buy with confidence, and receive expert and - more importantly - trust worthy advice, if you are buying as an investment. Very friendly staff at the Bristol gallery, and if you compare their prices with other galleries, you’ll find that their pricing is very competitive. I wouldn’t risk buying from anywhere else. 5⭐️

Lovely little farm and cafe. Good coffee and cake. Perfect little day out for the all ages. Support local businesses by stopping in for a bite or buying some feed to feed the animals.

Love it here 😊 you can feed the animals too and it's perfect to visit on a nice sunny day. There is a cafe too

Grimsby community farm ,its set in some nice surrounding fields, its a little run down, but on a nice day its a great way to spend a hour or two, there are various animals like Chickens, Goats ,Donkey's,Rabbits and birds various. It also has a nice cafe for drinks and food. Nice to take small Children.

Great city farm, would always recommend even when raining. Nice cafe and lovely outdoor area, fantastic for picnic.

What a great place to bring your children for fun! There's play equipment for the bigger children as well as for toddlers. The food in the cafe is excellent quality. Proper coffee, lots of choice plus vegan milk options :)

Great place to take the sprogs - especially if you're on a budget. Free to enter and, given that, it's great value. My kids loved the park and meeting the farm animals. The cafe on site is great too and there is plenty of parking. An oasis of green and nature in Briz.

First visit with our first Child. The playground was the highlight of our girls visit.. easy steps up for a child of 20 months old... So thanks for that. 🙏☺️ Very pleasantly surprised with Grimsbury Community Farm and will be back more often for sure. £1 for a bucket of feed. You can have chicken or goat feed for a quid each but we felt the goats are Hungrier than the Chickens! As there's no entry fee (and we didn't order food from the cafe other than a couple of soft drinks) we feel that next time we would like to make a donation towards the venue and it's Animals. We really appreciated a wonderful visit and look forward to supporting further to ensure its success.

What a beautiful place to go ... so relaxing . Parking good lots of space we went early even though you have to pay .well worth it . Carlos the cat came he loved it too ... but not too keen on the dogs who were splashing about in the river 🥰🥰

Despite its name, Snuff Mills, its true history is explained on several story boards. A lovely walk/ cycle if you prefer by the River Frome ( of Anglo Saxon name) leading to the back of lovely park where's there is plenty of space to walk dogs, a play park for kids and a cafe and clean toilets.

This is a lovely place to come for a walk. It’s beautiful walking along by the river. It’s very shady here and dog friendly. This is the perfect place to come for a picnic. The surroundings are stunning. There are plenty of parking spaces, public toilets and a kids playground. This place is a hidden gem. I’d recommend this place if you love nature. There’s so much to explore, and it’s so peaceful.

Snuff Mills is a beautiful and historic green space in Bristol, nestled along the River Frome in the Frome Valley Walkway. It’s a popular spot for walkers, cyclists, and nature lovers, offering a mix of woodland, riverside paths, and historic ruins. Why Is It Called Snuff Mills? The name comes from an old water-powered mill that once operated here, grinding corn and possibly producing snuff (a type of powdered tobacco). Although the mill is no longer in use, some of its old buildings and machinery remain, adding to the area's historical charm. What Makes Snuff Mills Special? Beautiful River Walks – The Frome Valley Walkway runs through Snuff Mills, offering scenic trails along the River Frome, with old stone bridges and weirs. Rich Wildlife – Look out for kingfishers, herons, otters, and even bats at dusk. Historic Features – Includes remnants of the old mill, a stone quarry, and bridges from Bristol’s industrial past. Family & Dog-Friendly – A popular spot for dog walkers, with open spaces and shaded woodland trails. Connection to Oldbury Court – The trails lead to Oldbury Court Estate, a large park with playgrounds, open fields, and picnic spots.

Wonderful outdoor place to visit with or without the kids. Nice cafe, carpark is a good price. Toilets as well

Lovely place to take the dog for a big old walk, and even a picnic. Beautiful surroundings. A really great day out. Best day of my dogs life so far!!

Snuff Mills is a charming park offering a peaceful retreat from city life. Nestled along the River Frome, it boasts picturesque woodland trails, a historic mill, and serene riverside views. The well-maintained paths are perfect for leisurely walks, jogging, or cycling. Wildlife enthusiasts will appreciate the diverse flora and fauna. It's a great spot for picnics, with plenty of open spaces and benches. The tranquility and natural beauty make it an ideal destination for families, nature lovers, and dog walkers. Parking is convenient, and the area is generally clean and safe. Overall, Snuff Mills is a delightful urban oasis.

Went there for an event. (Bristol Hot air balloon festival ) plenty of space for car parking ( previously arranged by the event organizers. Had a lots of fun. Family event friendly . Large outdoor space.

Incredible we saw deer so close they were majestic! The children loved running through the estate grounds exploring.

Have been to Bristol International Balloon Fiesta. It was too crowded. Lots of entertainment activities around. Red parking spot is far away from the actual site and no proper road is maintained to arrive for parking. From parking place to actual site is never provided. High safety risk of people might slide down and security concerns. Balloon fiesta is beautiful to watch

Wonderful place to visit. Very big area to have a fantastic walk around. Deers 🦌 on site to see, café and toilets at the mansion house.

I mean, I definitely had a very different experience to most visitors but what a beautiful grounds and property! Would 10/10 recommend having a dance in the halls. Lovely bar staff, not massively overpriced (albeit £5 a can, but that's your standard these days unfortunately) But most people reading this review will be looking for a very different side of Ashton Court.

We had a brilliant day at the balloon festival, balloon glow. Loads to see, plenty of food and drink venders. There was a fun fair as well as a arena with entertainment for example; bike display, model aeroplane display.

Lovely walk through the deer park on a cold winter day. Looks like it could take a day or two to explore the whole park thoroughly. Peaceful, not many folks on the (well-marked) trails. Public restroom was a welcome find, albeit in slightly poor condition.

The O2 Academy itself was pretty good. A fairly small venue. No food is served there but there is a bar where the drinks are reasonably priced. There's a good pub opposite that served really good food and a great atmosphere. The event I saw at the academy was good with good sound. Staff were very helpful and friendly too.

The support act was superb. Half way through the concert a group of young men who were drunk started crowd surges. I was there with my 12 year old daughter who had had knee surgery. On the third occasion a circle opened up and two of the lads were squaring uo for a fight: all credit to security they sorted it pretty quickly but I think the signs were there earlier. Shame, as otherwise the music was excellent and regardless my daughter had an amazing time. Highly convenient venue and parking was easy. Think I would choose Manchester over Bristol in the future, was just a better crowd.

One of the bigger venues in Bristol. I like that there's a raised area at the back for those not wanting to rush to the front. Plus there's a balcony (only opened when the main act were onstage when I went). Easy access in and out. Worth going to the Merch desk before the gig starts as the queue after looked rather long. Sound quality was good, and ventilation/heating decent even when packed.

Been here a few times for a few different events, most recently to see James Marriott, and every time I've had a great time! We were on the upper level and had a great view from the front! Super easy to find your way around, lots of signs, bar upstairs and downstairs.

Lovely venue for great music. Enjoyed an evening watching the underdog bands play against one another. Highly recommend

Some places are really nice, but in general not the best view to the stage (I would say 70% has a good view), upstairs the sound is not as good as downstairs. Friendly staff and all other things well organized.

Great venue, security staff were so good, couple of idiots quickly and efficiently handled. Bar was quick and decent beer. Perfect evening

Really enjoyed this park and all the varied events that happen here. Spent many hours with my younger family, friends and memories of time with my late father. Would highly recommend yoga in the Park in the Sensory Garden on Sunday and the children's park run . A favourite place for many to walk their four legged friends. I also taught both of my sons to learn how to ride their bikes here as the path is very level. Its a safe space for the whole family and dogs to have lots of fun and make Lots of happy memories too.

Great Park. 3 Playgrounds (a kids one, one with wooden facilities and a teen one), a cafe and a nice garden. Lots of open space. My son loved it

One if not the best park in Bristol. It has everything: 2 childrens playgrounds, zip ride, tennis courts, cricket pitch, bowling green, bandstand, café, aviary, sensory garden, beautiful flower beds plus newly refurbished toilets. Everything on the level and fully accessible

Page park is a fabulous place for all types of people to go and hang out. There are several kids play areas designed for different ages from pre school to teen. The Bean Tree Cafe is fabulous and well priced and very popular. There are tennis courts too and a ping pong table. Several big green spaces to picnic or play and on a Sunday morning at 9 there is the kids parkrun... It is always well maintained and some lovely flower beds too...

Great place to drink slushies mixed with magnums on a nice sunny day. Plenty of shaded areas as well as places to sunbathe. Would have been 5 stars if the toilets stayed open until later :(

Lovely park. Have lots of activities here, but parking is dreadful when something on.

Lovely landscaped park that is well looked after. Nice place to relax and walk. Also has a large field and children's play area to the rear.

Free entry, See how people lived through time, what they wore, the toys they played with and how they managed their household chores. Find out about the history of the house, the landscaping of its estate. worth a visit to learn about the estate, and the house was great.

Had a great free day out here with the family. Lots of interesting items and rooms to look at. They had a dress up room which the kids loved using and also the gift shop. After we visited the park and Blaise Castle and had a fantastic afternoon exploring the woods and castle grounds and kids loved the park at the end while mum & dad had a coffee from the on site cafe. A really great free day out located in Bristol would highly recommend in the kids school holidays

We travelled from Cambridgeshire to visit, my daughter had a lovely time looking at all the old household items and talking toher Great Grandmother about them. We enjoyed crafting and the bird trail. Thank you

Perfect day out for anyone. Beautifully clean and well maintained apart from 1 dog poo. My family and I from Holland had an amazing day out.

The house is pretty incredible and grand. The museum had information on the history and family behind it. Like a national trust property there are historical and period displays on a variety of subjects from toys to clothes, to washing and toilets, to cooking. They are interesting, but a little bit old and tired. But for a free museum, pretty good. There is a shop and toilets. The playgrounds on the estate has a cafe.

It is worth a visit, but I must admit I expected a bit more. No admission fee, although donation is welcome what I did was £5 paid by card.

Great place for a day out. Great scenery with lots of parking and onsite facilities like toilets and a cafe. There are also children’s play areas nearby. Worth a visit on a sunny day!

We love Hartcliffe city farm. It's has animals( goats, sheep, chickens etc) and a indoor play barn which my little ones love. Ideal for children under 5. You can now buy animal food to feed to the animals as you walk around. Parking is outside the gates( disabled parking inside) but it's only a couple of minutes walk to make your way in. They have toilets which are always nice and clean.

Amazing little gem! The play barn is sensational. My grandson loves the sand area and kitchen. Lovely short walk around to see the adorable animals. The Turkey is a real character, always very vocal and loves strutting his stuff displaying his feathers ! Staff are extremely friendly. Cafe facilities inside barn selling good quality refreshments and delicious cakes and snacks.

Well worth a visit. Animals are well happy and friendly. You can buy feed to hand feed them. Bigger than expected. Awesome for kids there's a sand pit and diggers. Cute little covered play/ eating area.

First visit here for the harvest festival, excellent little farm our daughter absolutely loved the new play area and seeing the sheep, ducks and goats Lovely coffee and cake will be back soon!

Great, free place to visit. Café is good if you want to support their work. Animals are well cared for. No parking unless your disabled

Went there with the grandkids and they had a great time and they loved seeing the animals I really enjoyed it 😊

We visited on a very windy day. Children played in the play barn and we managed to see the sheep, goats and chicken's.

Thank u ruby for a fantastic experience never done Bollywood before the routine was brilliant we all really enjoyed the time with u claire Shere the hen was the best at bollywood thank u so much xxxx

Decent spot for a night out, very cool inside as it has old prison cells! Good sound system and lights too

Cool alternative art display. We went to the event Quasi which exhibited a range of post modern pieces. Worth a quick visit. Thank you

Wonderful experience. Very personal, and heartbreaking to hear about the lives of individuals on the ship. Interesting to find out about her sister ship who did so well.

Great irish dance classes on a Friday whit horizon irish dance school. Highly recommended. Lots of other activities to do there. But definitely irish dance class with Katie is something you don't want to miss

Alternative place to enjoy with art and music.

The Island is a fantastic space used for circus skills. Art. Dance. And events. Always something to visit or sign up for and central to the city centre.
