SS Great Britain is a good place to visit for every one. There is a tremendous effort for the people behind it to preserve the history. The ship as been restored to make sure that we can feel how it used to be back in those days. Kids will find it very interesting to understand the history. It is arranged in such a way that not only the ship but the surrounding are also matching the history. The path to the ship describes a full history of the ship including old tickets, details of Captains etc. The trip will take a solid 2-3 hours to complete.

One of the better boats we have been on and we have been on quite a few. I liked how you could go in each room and experienced the life people would have lived on the boat and also the smells when walking around. There is a lot to see and do on the boat and the other museums. Would recommend it

I came here with my children during school summer holidays. My first time ever visiting this ship & it makes you proud to be a Bristolian. Having seen how the ship looked when it came back from the Falklands in 1970, it is unbelievable how they have restored it to such a high level. I'm glad my entry cost contributed to the SS Great Britain Trust because I hope she can last another 100+ years. I would highly recommend and I will be returning with my ticket that allows one year of unlimited returns.

What an incredible experience. Amazing history depicted via interactive models and fascinating stories. Each member of staff is delightful, friendly and knowledgeable. The interior of the ship is fascinating. You will be here for hours and enjoy every minute if it.

Great value for money. Friendly, courteous and very knowledgeable staff throughout the whole visit. Plenty to see, not just on the ship itself. A real educational, interactive and fun experience for kids and adults alike. And what's more, there's 1 year free unlimited free returns included in your ticket, so you can keep coming back incase you missed anything.

A great time for all ages, although starting to show its age when I was there with a few of the interactive bits not working. Ships wheel and propeller lift. Quite expensive at £19 per adult but you can easily spend 3 hours mooching around all the displays and the ship is amazing. Good Cafe, toilets and things to keep kids happy

Really enjoyed my visit. The ship is amazing and there is plenty to see and do around on the dock. The whole dock itself has been made into a museum with a horse-drawn carriage, travellers' trunks, anchors etc. On the ship, visitors can look in the bowels of the ship to see the propeller and up on deck, where there are seats to enjoy the view. The ship is supposed to be disabled friendly, with ramps and lifts. However the lift wasn't working on the day we visited. There is a interesting shop and a museum. A cafe can be found near to the entrance with lovely fresh sandwiches, hot snacks and pastries. I would love to say it was an excellent facility, but we were totally ignored at the counter for quite some time before being served. There are plenty of toilets throughout. They are very clean and the best thing is that one can read poetry whilst sat on the throne!!! If I could recommend something, it would be clearer signposting. All in all however, it was a great attraction, with plenty to see and do. I would certainly return.

Where to start? If, like me, you are a fan of Brunel and his work, then SS Great Britain is something you simply MUST go visit! You literally get to go over this iconic ship from bottom to top, inside and out! One thing I will say is don't wear anything too warm for your visit. To conserve the ship, inside and out warm, dehumidified air is circulated constantly throughout the ship and under the glass "sea" covering the dry dock. The atmosphere under and inside the ship is, of necessity, literally as dry as a desert! It is not unbearable by any means, but you truly won't need a coat!

Way better than I was expecting!!! My wife suggested we visit with the children and I admit having low expectations based on similar things elsewhere. My goodness was I wrong?! This is top tier family activity. The ship is not just extraordinary with a special place in local and national history but it’s SO accessible to visitors. It feels like they really trust and respect their guests and as a result it’s so much more immersive and educational. There are two museums which have all manner of interactive elements - costumes to wear, levers to pull, models to touch. Everything is clean and clear. Value wise it’s extremely impressive and I’d love all the super friendly staff to know just how thrilled we were after we visited. SS Great Britain was really GREAT! May other British attractions use this as the bar to hit.

Great museum. Not only do you get to explore inside the SS Great Britain but there are also various exhibits in buildings by the dock side. Could spend many hours here. There are some especially interesting aspects of a visit such as being able to wander around by the keel under the ship.

Amazing job of restoration to bring this vessel back to her birthplace in Bristol docks. Superb storytelling around the site to paint a picture of this ship in her heyday. Well worth spending a few hours here to soak up the atmosphere and garner all the facts.

Amazing part of Bristol history. The incredible life and story of a ship, stranded and left to rot, before conservation enthusiasts brought her back home. It wasn't an easy task either. Don't just read this. If you have an opportunity to visit, then do! The entry ticket gives you an annual membership, so you can visit as often as you like in that year.

This really is an astounding museum. The ship is fantastic and the other exhibit and collections are also fantastic... But perhaps the most amazing thing, is the recreation of the lower decks with all the sights and sounds and the SMELLS. It really does feel authentic and you can easily imagine you are actually there on a voyage in the middle of the ocean. The staff 'crew' all very knowledgeable and clearly love their roles and the ship. Really, this is one of the best living museum experiences you can have. I can't recommend it highly enough.

My hubby and daughter went round here, I stayed outside with the dogs as they weren’t allowed in. They both really enjoyed this, there’s lots of info about Brunel, his life and his works, giving you an idea of what life might have been like at that time. My daughter enjoyed the dry dock and looking at the underside of the ship as well as the inside with all the info. The dry dock was very hot as it is pumped with hot air to preserve it and keep the moisture out, you might need a drink with you for this part. They spent around 2 hours going around. There is a nice gift shop when you go in. Good for disabled access or prams as there were lifts to take you up and down the floors. Nice friendly staff on hand to answer any questions you may have. Definitely worth a visit.

One of the best attractions I have been to. If you are in Bristol you simply have to go. It brings the history of the ship to life and the talks are well worth attending. The entrance fee includes 12 months entry so a no brainer if you live locally. Good cafe too.

Absolutely brilliant!!! Would really recommend going here!! On the ship they have the whole set up and the sound effects (and smell effects 👃) were really good. In fact the whole set up was great! Won't lie I did get lost a couple times but the kids loved finding the people on the map. The man that welcomed us was a brilliant character and got us right in the mood. The staff in the gift shop were friendly as well. For the price of what we paid definitely worth it.

Superb experience. So glad I went in. Caught the little ferry across the river, being dropped right outside. Fair price for what there is to see and do. So much information lots to see and do. The SS Great Britain has been on a great adventure and is well worth a visit. Top place to visit in Bristol.

This was an amazing experience. I am not really a boat or engineering person but i had so much fun. The above and below the water perspectives plus the immersive nature of this place makes is a fun twist on a museum. All the staff are passionate about the history and incredibly knowledgable. There's a computer that allows you to search for your family lineage on the passenger logs. The Brunel museum was fascinating to deep dive into the engineer/mastermind behind the boat. The ticket, the guides, the gift shop, the cafe, loved it all. Went on a Sunday afternoon and pretty much had the place to myself. Attended the 2pm talk on the surgeon too. My highlight was definitely underneath the ship on the dry dock.

Wonderful attraction, you wont regret visiting here. Great British ship, was the greatest of the world at least for a decade. You can observe the dry dock, museum, decks and inside the ship. You can reach the real ship experience specially inside. I think this is the best attraction in the Bristol city.

Very nice tourist attraction; definitely a highlight of Bristol. Tickets include access to: the ship, dry dock, and even a museum. Be prepared to spend a good few hours here as there's plenty to see! They've clearly put a big effort to make walking through the ship as immersive and interesting as possible(and it's brilliant!); there's fairly realistic audio, smells, props and mannequins to help bring the ship to life. Also, they have a team of enthusiastic staff to give tours e.c.t Many lifts & ramps throughout make the majority of the ship accessible to pushchairs/wheelchairs. Overall it's definitely worth visiting!

This was the highlight of our weekend break in Bristol. Well worth the visit. It is a must. Excellent museum and knowledgeable and friendly guides.

This ship was awesomely arranged inside. So much to see/ do and experience in and on the ship. Worth the entrance fee for the museums and the ship. You won't regret it

Well worth the visit. For the price, and the return for a year it great value. So much to see and do! All of the exhibits are in very good condition and most importantly working 😁 There are two musium as well as SS Great Britain, we only managed to visit one, it was great. The ship is vast with lots to see, do and smell. You will get lost but that us all part of the fun. The staff are fantastic, so helpfull, knowledgeable and really friendly. If you are in Bristol, you must visit.

A wonderful tourist attraction. I recommend taking the ferry to cross habour to it. The ticket includes a view from the dry dock below the boat and a visit to a museum dedicated to it's constructing - as well as an exhibit for Brunel. Just before getting on the boat, I recommend grabbing a crew or passenger card from the Dry Dock museum and trying to find the luggage that matches it on the boat! It's a great way to explore this historic marvel.

Had a fantastic time here. The staff were all very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, making the visit feel extra special. Buying a ticket gives you access for a year, and I'd love to come back.

The best attraction in Bristol. Very interesting to see the boat that crossed Atlantic such a long time ago. Everything seems to be perserved good and you get the realistic picture of how the passangers lived during the trip. Organized tour with nice stories might have helped to get even better impression. Staff is polite. Definitely worth of visiting.

Amazing views! A must visit if ever in Bristol, you can spend hours taking in the beautiful scenery. Many details around you. With the observatory close by, and a tunnel leading to suspended balcony in the middle of the cliff. The bridge itself is more than a 100 years old. With daily walking tours. You can put your camera down, many details you can find around you while crossing and beautiful scenery. It takes around 5 minutes going from one side to the other. Unfortunately the Avon gorge below was nearly dry when we visited August 2022 because of the heatwave, but still the views were beautiful. The Clifton area close by with the Mall gardens and many authentic restaurants. A nice place to send part of your day and end with having a meal in on of those restaurants. Note: the bridge has a £1 pound toll if crossing in a car.

Even I don’t know much about bridge construction, I also can tell from the height and width of the bridge that this was a highly complex project in the 19th century. A lot of difficulties were encountered from design to completion which I learned from the visitor centre. Just walk 5 minutes across the bridge to enjoy the beautiful view of the river. A must see place if visiting Bristol as the view is just magnificent.

Absolutely stunning! The suspension bridge's design is a masterpiece. The breathtaking view from atop leaves you in awe. It's the perfect spot to unwind and connect with nature. A must-visit for nature enthusiasts!

Fabulous views, interesting historical facts and stories. Free visitors centre. £1.00 toll to cross the bridge. All upkeep of the bridge is paid for from the tolls. The gorge is also home to many specific plants. The Bristol White beam being found no where else on earth.

Stunning suspension Bridge! The view is breathtaking either you look the bring from down or up. Cross the bridge walking is such and incredible experience. With car there is a toll to pay that's 1£, but totally worth it. Waiting the sunset there will give you the chance to take some very amazing pics.

Absolutely beautiful suspension bridge. We definitely recommend you have a look if you’re in Bristol. The bridge is easy accessible, we went via a bus which took about 20 minutes from the city centre. You can also drive (I did see some parking), and the bridge is next to a lovely park so you can walk around if you’re in the area. Of course this area gets busy when it’s tourist season but it’s such an amazing view, I would definitely recommend you stopping by. Best time to go would be just before sunset, because then you can see the bridge during the day and then watch as it turns its lights on at night. There’s also a good selection of bars and pubs within a 10 minute walk, so you can make an evening of it.

Quite an impressive bridge, with plenty of viewing platforms for tourists, as well as significant amounts of greenery. Parking is in short supply, but you can find stops leading up to the bridge for 15-30 minutes to be quite sufficient. Note that you can get two different views for both sides of the bridge. Moreover, make sure to climb up the hill for better views, as well as cafe access. Overall, an excellent visit

The visitor’s center is free and provides interesting facts about the building of the bridge. I’m now keen to book an online tour of the bridge’s vaults although these are only available from April to October. Visit on a sunny day if you can and walk across into the vibrant heart of Clifton.

Free to cross as a pedestrian, £1 for cars. Amazing and expansive view, and fun to look down at all the tiny cars and people. Very narrow pathways so it would be a struggle for a wheelchair or a big buggy, but perhaps not impossible. You can definitely access the first part of the bridge pretty easily, which has the best views anyway!

Fascinating, looks like a diamond necklace, good for sight seeing, beautiful view of Bristol City at night. Over the hill you get to see the padlocks where lovers make a pact for their love. A sad thing about the bridge is many people have committed suicide on this bridge because of divorce, loss of their home because of mortgages. Highly recommended.

I mean... Really scary to look downward 😅 But the toll (for vehicles to cross the bridge) is keeping it well maintained I guess ? Not sure. Historic and iconic place to visit in Bristol. There's nothing to review as such sorry 🥲

Clifton Suspension Bridge is the most popular place in Bristol and the seventh most popular place for photos in the whole of the United Kingdom. The most popular photo spot is the base of the western tower on the Clifton side of the bridge. Make sure you get your photograph in front of the best view, whether that’s at sunrise or sunset. You can also visit the Giant Cave where you can get a spectacular view.

Nice scenic view. U need to pay a toll to cross over the bridge. If u wish to save some money finding parking before the bridge as it is quite convenient.

Great historical bridge to visit. Not much parking near the bridge, so there might be a bit of a walk to get to it. If you have a blue disability badge, drive over from the Bristol side, and you can park in the lay-by on the right hand side (you might have to drive up the road a short distance to turn around). There are great photo opportunities on the bridge. If you suffer from vertigo, stay away from the edges as the drop is quite high. There are unicorn statues with messages of hope on them and the number for the samaratins on the bridge. There are walkways on either side of the road crossing the bridge. There is a barrier with a toll to cross on either side. Walking is free.

The iconic landmark of Bristol. Still standing strong after 150+ years. Designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, one of the most famous Engineers of the Victorian era. Make sure to go to the Clifton Observatory to get great views of the bridge. Better yet, try to visit around the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta, which usually happens in August, to get views of colorful hot air balloons flying above the bridge. You can also go for Boating on river Avon under the bridge or if you feel adventurous, visit the Giant's Cave to get even better views. Highly recommended and must visit if you are in Bristol.

Stunning bridge. Accessible, I drove my scooter across on both sides. Gorgeous views. We were lucky enough to see some rock climbers ,so watched them for a while too.

Lovely old bridge that's not only a great piece of engineering, but looks beautiful spanning over the River Avon and suspended between the gorge at Clifton. This iconic structure must be among one of the beautiful landmarks of the South West of England and well worthy of a visit

So impressive! Great to walk across, audio guide via QR (tho could’ve been longer), amazing views over the city and Clifton is a really nice area to explore after

Clifton Suspension Bridge is one of the oldest suspension Bridge of it's time. Built around 1860 AD. It's an engineering Marvel and good picturesque view from the Bridge. Bristol City looks quite beautiful from the Bridge. Must visit for Nature enthusiast. One can go Trekking as well on the hill near the bridge.

You can enjoy nice view over the Clifton Suspension Bridge and one coffee shop on top of the hill. It is possible to visit a cave from where you should enjoy even better view (I have not done it, so I leave that part to others to evaluate). It was very cold at the time when I was there and it might have impacted the overall impression.

Clifton Suspension Bridge is an absolute marvel that effortlessly blends engineering prowess with breathtaking natural beauty. Walking across this iconic structure is like stepping into a piece of history while being embraced by stunning panoramic views of Bristol. The sense of awe as you gaze upon the Avon Gorge below is simply unparalleled. A must-visit for anyone seeking both architectural wonder and awe-inspiring scenery. Don't miss the chance to experience this masterpiece firsthand! 🌉🏞️

Amazing views up and down river from the bridge. The £1 to cross by car is worth it. The staff in the visitor centre are also extremely knowledgeable and friendly

Nice view from the bridge, I walked down across the bridge it was really experience with some old and new vibes.. It was dat time may be next time I will try to see in night.

One of the oldest and famous hanging bridge. It's known as the jewel of Bristol. A fabulous view. Train and river flowing below. What a beautiful scenery. Worth visiting.

A lovely, medium sized zoo. Animals in good condition and seem contented. Lots of information dotted around for learning opportunities. Super helpful staff - all so cheerful and considerate! Food outlets are on the expensive side but you could just as easily take a picnic as there are outdoor and indoor seating areas. Seeing the eggs in the reptile house was a winner with my son after he had watched some YouTube videos about hatcheries. Daughter was completely engaged with the underwater sea lion viewing that had loads of space. Good disabled access throughout. Very wheelchair friendly. Staff were extremely understanding of my son's additional needs and catered for him really well. Good day out for old and young. We spent a total of 4 hours there. Arrive early because 11am onwards may be difficult for parking at peak times.

Had a brilliant time, much bigger than we expected, really well laid out design. Animals were brilliant to see, all looked in great condition with immaculate enclosures. Loads of info about each species too. Cafe was nice, but a little pricey. Apart from that, highly recommended x

We love Bristol Zoo, our son had a great day. We went early on a week day so it was nice and quiet. The staff & keepers are really friendly and told us fun facts about the animals when we saw them. I'm sad it's closing later this year so would recommend a visit before this happens.

Great selection of animals..very enjoyable experience. All the animals look happy and relaxed so I'm certain they're treated well. Great time to see the animals in their daily routine. I understand people's reservations on animals on captivity but a lot of the animals here are in danger of extinction so I'm glad to see their breeding program to help restore the population. Overall a wonderful experience

A very Small but quirky zoo, if you're a zoo lover it's worth a visit. Really enjoyed the Tree Kangeroos and Bats. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the gift shop prices were reasonable for a zoo. You can see it's age in places but I feel it really adds to its charm.

Can't wait for the Zoo to move to a larger location (at Wildplace Project). It's an amazing zoo, theres lots to see and the animals seem happy & well looked after. It can be expensive for larger families, but the annual membership is a good investment if you are planning to go 5 or more times in a year.

The zoo itself was awesome, the exhibits were diverse and especially the aquarium and reptile house were really well scaped! Saw a lot of animals I haven't seen before and caught some great animal behaviours. Sad to see it closing but looking forward to my first visit to Wild Place later this year! Deducted one star for it taking 30 minutes to park, but that won't be a problem when they move out of the city 💜

Many animals absent or not in viewing areas when visiting, which I guess can’t be helped to a certain degree. No comms regarding enclosure timings / closures info regarding feeding times / talks on a sandwich board at entry only. Took over an hour to find a parking space after finding out when getting to the zoo the car park was full and the entrance barred. The limited on street parking around the zoo all has a 3 hr max stay which isn’t helpful. On trying to ring the zoo to find out if we are still allowed to attend outside of our half hour slot, nobody was answering the phones so wasn’t sure either way. Heading towards the not well advertised overflow car park which was managed by luck it wasn’t apparent if it was full or not but there appeared to be no entrance. That is to say save for an area where 2 individuals in hi-vis sat away from the road, one rolling a joint the other playing on their phone. Eventually finding a spot to park on street that wasn’t limited to a 3hr window, on walking past the zoo car park it became evident there wasn’t any active management of the car parks as despite still being closed there were numerous empty spaces available. The penguins were a highlight though these days there are few and trying to see them at feeding time is awkward due to the crowd. The best for me was the seal feeding and talk as despite the crowd I was able to see due to the animals being clearly much larger than penguins. The fruit bats able to walk around overhead was also an enjoyable experience. Witnessed and area of concern when I was exiting through the gift shop, where an employee was weaving a stack of boxes through the busy crowds above her head height balanced on a wheelchair of all things?! I doubt that was on the risk assessment.

Amazing zoo! The exhibits were great and the animals were easy to see. There was a lot of things to do with kids. We spent about 4 hours here with our 3 kids and could have spent more time. We brought our buggy and it was easy to get around everywhere.

Lots to see and great for children, especially if not wanting/expecting to see large animals as don't have rhino's, elephants, giraffes, tigers etc. The lions and gorillas are the largest they have so manage small children's expectations! They have a fantastic reptile house, butterfly garden and lots more.

Took my 2 yr old grandson yesterday, the first time for him. Car park was full but was lucky enough to find a space to park in the street around the corner. All the animals were so lovely and well cared for. The staff around the park, all very friendly and helpful. Didn't get to see any penguins, otters or gorilla. The aquarium section was excellent, the fish are huge, totally amazed us. Nice little play park for the children. A lovely day out. Gift shop very expensive tho.

Highly recommended. My kids loved it. So much to watch. Restaurant facilities available onside. Few from many to watch as follows: Penguins, lion, gorillas, snakes, butterfly is must watch as it involves kids to spot rare blue morphos, flamingos, monkeys and .unhealthy much more. The only thing I was disappointed was parking charges which wasn't included in tickets fee and end up paying £5 for whole day.

Visited May 6, 2019: It certainly lived up to its name, and was fun even for someone who was in his mid-20s. Outside area is a great place to just chill out, too. Sad to see it’s been closed for a while because of a fire, though. Hope they come back soon.

We the Curious (previously @Bristol), is an excellent place to bring young and old kids. There is plenty to do and plenty of space. There are two floors filled with lots of different scientific and animating stands to keep you and the kids occupied for hours. Worth a day ticket or a full year pass. There is a cafe, picnic area with vending machines, toilets upstairs and downstairs. There are 2 lifts and stairs. They have a planetarium with regular shows throughout the day. Worth a visit if you want to expand your mind or a child's mind,lota of fun exploring and learning to be done here!

One of the best children's museums I've been to... So well designed that can easily spend the whole day there. I took my son for his fourth birthday and he absolutely loved it. Facilities for lunch and bathroom/baby change are great. The variety of activities, including lots of hands on activities is stimulating and the open plan design facilitates child led experience. Would definitely recommend and am sure to visit again if I'm ever in Bristol!

My visit was about a year ago. Great experience, and interesting displays. Some of the displays were amazing and great fun and very interactive, with even more hands-on interactive displays upstairs. Some were very cliché though, like the one with an "AI robot" which I think didn't do AI justice at the time, and I imagine didn't age very well over this past year with the advances in large language models and generative AI specifically. However I look forward to returning, as I have heard the displays are rotated out, and others in, over time. :) This is definitely one of the better ones!

The five stars relate to when We The Curious is open. It houses a hands-on exploratory with the sort of exhibits that I would love to have seen as a child. Unfortunately there was a fire earlier in year which means it is currently shut for repair. Apparently the fire was caused by gulls causing an electrical fire on the solar panels on the roof! While the exploratory is closed the staff are running free sessions in Millennium Square for children to build the biggest, tallest and most beautiful structures.

I've never been to a science museum, I was amazed, and thought it was INCREDIBLE. What was there was amazing and took my breathe away... and definitely needs to be seen by all. Highly recommended, the staff was brilliant and helpful. I came out of our visit here more intelligent 🤣

Always love a Science Museum. Ideal for a family day out, or a perfect date if you are both big, curious children at heart (I had far too much fun with the giant bubbles). Phrases big questions in fun and easy to understand ways and blends science with art and philosophy seamlessly. Intended to take more photos, but got swept up into the magic. Recommend.

We had the best time at Chain Reaction, which was in Millennium Square and run by We The Curious, the Museum which is sadly closed due to a recent fire. Sign up is definitely required on the board outside the tent, so we registered then went somewhere else and came back for our session. About 45 minutes of building and a grand performance with everyone at the end - the atmosphere was brilliant. I thought the staff were utterly ace, every single one was child-oriented, super enthusiastic, and chatty with the grown ups so you felt like they really loved teaching everyone about science. We’d definitely look out for more school holiday events and can’t wait for the main museum to be back open.

We first went when the science museum was named @bristol and several times since then as "we the curious". What a fantastic place to take anyone. Kids yes but you could do on a date here it is so much fun and so much to learn. You can certainly spend a day or two hanging out in this fascinating place. We loved the Observatories and the 3d Planetarium. The bubbles in “Our World”, of course, playing with magnets in the “Curiosity Zone”, sand, water! Absolutely everything fun for kids including an old fashioned brick area for building your castle. We thought the animation section “Animate It” was terrific, and we explored every puzzle in “Your Amazing Brain”. I don’t think we would get fed up with this if we tried. The food there is excellent, a little pricey, though, and straightforward. You can go out and come back, so there are a plethora of places so close that you can choose from if you prefer something more exotic than a coronation chicken jacket potato. The fact that they support local charities is a bonus.

My son and I decided to go away for a couple of days. I remember this place when it first opened so thought I would take him. I made the right choice he loved it. We had so much fun looking at animations and bubbles and lots of other amazing things. We did pay extra for the 3d solar system show and I will highly suggest to do it if you can it took my breath away and my son's too. He has talked about it non stop. Lots to do if suggest get there in the morning as it does get busy.

A great museum with a lot of exhibits about the history of Bristol and its people. Is worth a visit and entry is free. Been on the ground floor is great for wheelchair users and people with prams. Entry is free and is only 10 minutes walking distance from SS Great Britain. The cafe with the seating outside is a nice place to spend time.

Absolutely brilliant place to visit. Great accessibility for wheelchair users, lovely cafe and amazing interactive displays. The shop has loads of quirky and unusual gifts available, and the museum itself works for any age and ability, a definite 'must visit'. We'll be back time and time again.

Lovely place to visit, full of the history of Bristol. Fully wheelchair & pushchair accessible, spread over 2 floors with lifts. Cafe did a great lunch at a great price. Vegan options available. We'll worth a visit, free to get in but a suggested donation of £5 can be given at any of the many donation stations around the museum.

Had a great visit. First time visit and really enjoyed it. My father worked at Rolls Royce in the 70s and worked on Concorde after mentioning this an amazing guide took us behind the scenes to look at one of their exhibits. We would highly recommend a visit it is highly worth it.

Great place to spend an afternoon learning about the history and evolution of Bristol (and England in general!) I love the fact that the walls are full not only with interesting things but also pictures of contemporary people - change makers, visionaries, activists, artists and so on. There’s an original Banksy on sight, the Grim Reaper - one of the oldest ones, a cool range of vintage cars, motorbikes and other means of transportation and there’s even an old red telephone box. Cool place! Excellent for tourists! Free entrance ticket and parking available nearby..

M Shed should be your to do list when you are around, first the entry is free , second it’s amazing museum place to know the history of Bristol. M Shed is spread across three floors any picture and review can’t do justice to the place, do visit. Time - 30- 120 minutes depending on your inquisitiveness.

Visited May 6, 2019: Interesting different pieces of local history. I love the location as you can look out to the waters from certain areas of the museum, which is very relaxing, and just the overall vibe being at a docking area (no less emphasized by the towering cranes outside the museum).

I visited with my 3 year old son and he enjoyed a lot of the exhibitions and we learnt more about Bristol's history. The staff were very nice and helpful. Toilets were easy to access and clean. We will be back again soon.

There’s a beautiful view from the rooftop! It’s free and you can access from the 2nd floor. The museum has a great collection about the city of Bristol but the exhibition itself seems a bit old fashioned. I miss the recent facts like Black Lives Matter protest.

Some really interesting exhibits. I particularly liked the information about the Pegasus engines. Some of the interactives were not working which was a bit of a let down and some were traditional museum faire which I think could be improved, but it was good and we will likely visit again. I also really enjoyed the tea and rocky road in the cafe.

A spacious, modern museum that tells a lot of fascinating stories about Bristol’s past. Very easy to lose a few hours walking around here, and there are often related harbourside activities involving older technology (steam train, cranes, different boats) during the weekends in the summer months. Make sure you head to the top floor (and, if you can, on the balcony of the top floor) for a great view of Central Bristol!

It's not my thing. I have tried to come here a few times and it just falls flat for me. The displays are of good quality and I find pieces to be interesting but it doesn't seem to grab my attention. It just felt more like a free place to go when the weather is not good. The toilets are of great quality and I liked that there was a specific section for Muslims to wash before their prayer, that was a nice touch. It is free entry and I wonder if it's more suited for another demographic but sadly it's not my thing.

This is an interesting eclectic museum about the Bristol area, its history, and its people. It is free to visit and includes a cafe, a shop, and a roof terrace with riverside views.

Excellent free museum with fabulous attempts at both decolonisation and explanation of why Bristolians are so cool: they fight for what is right.

I love this place. Free (donations are requested). Full of interesting items for young and old alike and slap bang in thr middle of a grest location with awesome shops, attractions and food nearby in Whapping Wharf, Millenium Square, SS Great Britain and the City Centre. Add to that the views of the city and the hustle and bustle of the harbour and you are onto a winner. Getting to catch a steam train outside, exploring the Matthew or taking to the water all adds to the experience. It is a simple must do in Bristol whether you are a local or a visitor. Part of what makes Bristol so special. One caveat - the cafe is not in my view the cheapest but there are plenty of other places nearby for food and drink.

Yes this is the first time I visit a museum.. I was so excited to see the art 🖼️ how was the life past time 🕰️. You can see here old Bristol life . Where people was so good and there life style and culture. Also you can find here lots of information ℹ️ about world culture and history. Recommend to go here family and friends.

This is free! It surprised me as I had lived in Bristol for several years and didn't know that. It provides some interesting history of the different areas of Bristol, but the highlight of course is the little steam train that runs up and down outside throughout the day. Located next to a nice row of shops and cafes. Also I went during the Bristol Unicorn trail so I've attached photos of those from around the city. The white one is at M shed, the space one at Temple meads, the yellow and blue one at wake the tiger and the Bristol themed one at the cathedral.

Had a really lovely time this afternoon, when it's open it's a nice place to visit especially if like today it's cold, wet and windy outside

Spectacular views from one of the tallest points of the city for free of charge. There's a catch though: you need climb a relatively steep hill and a couple of steps before getting access to these amazing views, but in my opinion, all the efforts are well-worth it. I did not regret and would go back any other time without hesitation.

If you’re looking for a hidden gem in Bristol that blends history, nature, and amazing views, Cabot Tower Park is the place to go. The tower lets you see the city and harbor from a different perspective. The park around it has a peaceful nature reserve, plenty of greenery, and a playground. It’s open every day and free to visit, so anyone can enjoy its benefits. Don’t miss this opportunity to explore Bristol’s past, relax in nature, and admire the beautiful scenery at Cabot Tower Park

Fantastic views as far as the eye can see after a short climb up a narrow flight of circular stairs. The kids enjoyed the clear views of Bristol and beyond in this sunny, cool, and windy day, as well as experiencing vertigo looking down. Well worth the effort up Brandon Hill where the tower proudly stands.

The goods - The tower is old and have historical value - You can climb to the top of the tower for free, the view from top is mesmerizing - The park surrounding that and the Brandon hill all together is so beautiful - Great place for morning and evening walk - Nice place for nature photographers, I found many birds as well as people feeding squirrels Improvements Really nothing I could find that's not good about this place Advice When climbing above, bring a torch and a water bottle. Also be very careful as the stairs are very small and at once only one person can climb up or down.

Cool little place to visit while in Bristol. Panoramic views of the city for free. If visiting do wrap up warm as it’s windy at the top and make sure you have a light as near sunset the stairs can get very dark as there is no light inside. People do pass on the spiral stairs so can be a challenge getting up. It is 100% worth the effort to go to!

This is must watch place in Bristol. If you visit Bristol, you can climb up to the tower and get free access to the whole of Bristol watch from the tower. Clear visibility to Clifton suspension bridge.

Great sky view of Bristol! The park it is in is beautiful. It does have some tight narrow stairs, so be careful! It also has two levels, so if there are too many people you can always go to the next.

A free tower climb in the heart of Bristol with stunning views. The steps are a little tiny, use your phone as a torch for the first section, but this is well worth the climb. The first set of stairs are the hardest but just when the fatigue starts to creep, you are at the first lookout. The top platform is a much shorter and well lit stairwell up. The stairwell is a little on the confined side, coming down is very easy - if you have larger feet be sure to walk on the outer edges for the widest step

A nice place to visit and have a walk around away from the busy crowds , it doesn’t feel like you are in the centre of Bristol.

Amazing view over all of Bristol! Surrounded by gorgeous garden ponds and thin little stone walkways leading up to the tower. You can walk up the tower for free, and I would definitely recommend going at sunset because the view is just spectacular. A very tight helix staircase to the top, but the view is worth it. There are 2 levels you can get out at, so you don't have to go to the top. Between the lower level and the upper level the staircase is even smaller, but the view is much better.

Visited May 6, 2019: Quite the brisk exercise getting to the place. Climbing up the tower itself can definitely be claustrophobic for some folks out there, basically having one path going up and down, so there's a queue for the most part waiting for one side to finish up. The views at the top, however, are rewarding, each side worth your time. The best of them being the greenery in the immediate area below.

If you want a great FREE view of the city, climb this tower! It is open from 8am everyday. Depending on the time of year, the earliest it closes is 6:15pm. There are 2 levels you can view from by walking up the narrow stairs. The 2nd staircase is very narrow and steep... so not for the claustrophobic! The garden around is very pretty and there are also lots of cute squirrels to see up close. Enjoy the view!

Didn't expect to find this. I highly recommend visiting the park and climbing up to the tower if you're visiting Bristol. Narrow spiral stairs to the top and has two layers to view the city from. You can get nice pictures for yourself. And what I like the most is that it's free!

Fun tower to climb up. The climb is tight so it's essentially single-file. Especially the highest part of the tower. But you have a great view of the entire area when you finally get to the very top. The stairs get more and more treacherous as you climb up.

Nice park in central area, next to university. Tower is free to visit with steep tiny stairs. Beautiful views on whole city. You can have some exercise in park workout area with some bars. Squirrels running from tree to tree, and you are still in busy part of the city. That is what I like on English cities. Parks with beautiful grass and trees.

Lovely lookout point with a bird’s eye view of the city, free of charge, atop a hill. Steep steps and narrow stairwells in the tower itself so not suitable for wheelchair users

We visited Bristol and decided to climb the tower, which was a great experience. The weather was good, which was lucky for us as we were able to see quite a bit. You can see many miles around, but you also get a good view of things nearby including the Clifton Suspension bridge and Brunel's SS Great Britain in the docks in the Harbour.

I like this tower a lot because of the view points. You may need stamina to climb up, the staircase is quite narrow and allow one person to pass through at a time. It takes around 5 minutes to climb to the top, but you can also go out in the midway to take some beautiful photos

Wonderful views of the city at two different levels, the top level has some info boards with mapped distances to an amazing variety of places. The tower is pretty steep and it's a long way up the hill to get to it, so only attempt if you're up for a hearty hike. Also be aware that the staircase is extremely tight. But it is a wonderful free attraction. Just be aware it closes around dusk!

Stunning view point in Bristol, with a lovely and peaceful park. Plenty space for sitting and enjoying the view. And lots of pathways to explore around. Beautiful nature and stunning views all year around.

We went round twice - you can exit and return within the same day. Small but perfectly formed - each exhibit was very well maintained and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and happy to chat about the fish. Some of the big exhibits are real showpieces and really stunning. Our toddler had a fantastic time.

Bristol Aquarium is a great place for the family. The kids loved it, and we really enjoyed it too. Some remarkable fish and turtles. Some huge, some tiny. Big tanks, and tanks with inserts that you can stick your head on, that we really enjoyed. I took pics of most of it, so take a peruse. There are a couple of places to park around if you're driving, but parking is quite pricey wherever you go. Entry is also about £19 each adult. Keep your ticket though as you can go on and out as much as you please throughout the day.

Great place to visit. The aquarium is brilliant - just the right size. Takes about an hour to two hours to look round. Well organised. Lots to look at and the tanks are very well done - small and large to very large. There's also a tunnel to walk through a tank and watch the fish which is brilliant. Educational as well with information plaques at each tank and an education section. Plenty to keep children (and adults!) occupied. The large tanks have a small seating area so you can sit and enjoy watching the fish. Easy access for pushchair and wheelchair alike. Cafe to eat and of course a gift shop. Recommend a visit.

Great conservation and education displays, talks are informative and great for all ages The talks and feeding displays are spread out across the day, and there's plenty of space around the enclosures so it never feels crowded or too busy Although the aquarium is relatively small, everything's spaced out well and the displays flow easily. Our favourites were definitely the skates!

Absolutely amazing aquarium. First time visit, very warm welcome. Explained where everything was, feeding times etc. Ticket was reusable for the day, so could come back later. Nice and clean. Well laid out. Reasonable price. Recommended for a visit.

My 2.5 year's old boy loved every second here. The ticket is valid for whole day which is great. We came back for the octopus feed. Very interesting and informative. So many beautiful tanks and plants. Staff are also really friendly.

I absolutely loved it; lots to see, brilliant textures and vibrant colours! Makes a brilliant day out for the family. Below are some photos I took with my SLR. Please don't use these photos for anything other than looking at. Thanks :)

My daughter and I took 2 teenagers and a toddler to the aquarium. It's great that the ticket lasts all day. We went through twice to make sure we saw everything. All the tanks are well stocked with a variety of fish, sharks, turtles, and even an octopus. They are clean and beautiful and well looked after. You get to see the fish from various angles and can even see them from above through the glass ceiling. At timed intervals, you can see the fish being fed and listen to and interesting talk about them. The flowers and greenery are luscious and healthy. I initially felt this was an expensive day out. but when you work out the costs to keep everything in perfect order plus staff, plus the flexibility of the admissoon, it is justified. We had a coffee in the cafeteria, and the kids had an ice cream before their second trip around. If you buy your tickets online, you can use them for a visit any day within 6 months. This is great and would make a perfect gift. If you pay for a season ticket on the day you visit, they will refund that days admission fee, and then you can visit as often as you like. It is well worth a visit.

Loved it! Would happily go again and again. Also your tickets are valid for the whole day so you can go around as many times as you like, you can even leave the aquarium and come back later on the same tickets! Staff are friendly, great set up and reasonable prices throughout.

The best aquarium I’ve been to in the UK - really unique boardwalk element. My one year old loves the coral reef tank. We loved it so much my partner, my mum and I all bought memberships and now go frequently. My only suggestion would be making the food and drinks in the cafe more fun and themed and making the entranceway and hallways/toilet area more fun/inviting. Oh and please do an archer fish feed/talk!

My 2.5 year's old boy loved every second here. The ticket is valid for whole day which is great. We came back for the octopus feed. Very interesting and informative. So many beautiful tanks and plants. Staff are also really friendly.

One of my favourite places to go for a day out in Bristol! The exhibits are always well maintained and very varied. The staff will always go above and beyond, and are always ready to share their knowledge. We saw a sting ray egg and even got to touch it. The staff member took the time to explain the difference between ray and shark eggs. Friendly interactions like this happen every time we go to the aquarium!

We went for my daughters birthday and had the best morning, I have no idea where the time went. I feel at this point I need to say my daughter was 40 🤣 and it was 6 adults that went, we all had the best time. There is so so much to see. Bristol was a lovely place and the aquarium was an added feature it was also very reasonably priced

Really enjoyed my visit to the aquarium. Really impressed with the amount of aquatic animals being looked after here. Some really beautiful animals. Very informative. Lots to see. Animals treated well. Staff friendly. Clean and tidy. At first was a little put off by the price of £19.50 but once I'd finished I was really glad I paid it and visited. Really loved the turtles! 🐠🐡🐢

This is our second time visiting the Bristol Aquarium, and I loved our visit. We reserved our tickets online and then go to the information desk and get the electric ticket exchanged for a scannable ticket we can use all day. I found the gentlemen serving us excellent and helpful in explaining how things worked. We approached the gate, and in no time at all, we were able to go through. I was amazed by how each tank was wonderfully designed to be pleasing for the fish and the viewer. I felt some tanks were a little overpopulated, but I'm not a fish expert, so perhaps they need to have a lot of fish in a smaller tank. We went around three times, and I could enjoy each tank for as long as I wanted; it was very pleasing, and I could enjoy the whole experience, and I look forward to my future visits. I couldn't attend any feeding sessions, but I don't think you need to see them to enjoy the visit. Everything was super clean, and I think the only improvement I would ask for is better opening times because it's an all-day ticket. It's summer it would be lovely to have it open a little later to allow the customers to walk in and out as they please.

Great day out for the little ones, we took our 5 month old and she loved it, especially the underwater tunnel. pram friendly with great baby changes facilities. We cannot wait to return and the staff were really friendly

So much fun! It was great to have a walk around the aquarium and learn about all the creatures there. We also managed to catch some of the feeding times, which was so cool!

What a brilliant place to visit. Take your time here, look at everything it's awsome! It was a little busy, the weekend before the kids go back after Easter though, but hey! that's no big deal. I'll certainly be coming back.

Such a lovely experience! There were LOTS of cute animals to see (such as fish, frogs, sharks, and more😀) and it wasn't too busy when we went so we were able to look at each section in our own time. The tanks are huge too so all the animals look really happy😊 The underwater tunnels are super cool as well. Very fun day!!

This was an exotic experience.. from the large open tanks to the small aquariums..the spread is rich in greenery and well taken care of grounds..it is defined children friendly and depending on the time you visit you can experience them feeding the fishes. Though it's a small aquarium it is breathtaking experience

Some interesting exhibits but for the price I'd say not worth it as it's not the biggest and doesn't take long to get round. And yes, your ticket is valid all day, but once you've seen it, you've seen it. Didn't help as there was a school trip going on, so we were inundated with dozens of very excited, circa Y4 kids all the way round jostling to look at things. Not their fault I know but when you've paid over £70 it didn't sit well.

Our visit to Bristol Aquarium was truly delightful. My 2 year old thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and personally, it marked the first time I witnessed the largest fish of my life. The highlight for me was the excitement of seeing a seahorse, fulfilling a childhood curiosity that began when I first learned about seahorses in textbooks. The aquarium's diverse marine life, including the impressive variety of fish, created a captivating and educational environment. The facility's well-curated exhibits and engaging displays made it an enjoyable outing for both kids and adults. I would wholeheartedly recommend Bristol Aquarium to anyone seeking a fascinating and family-friendly aquatic adventure.

Nice little aquarium for the kids to visit in the city Centre. It’s a bit pricey for tickets but Bristol isn’t a cheap city so not much you can do when you have kids. We did manage to finish it in just over an hour, so don’t expect a whole lot. Were some great sea creatures to see. Would be great for little kids and toddlers. If you’ve got a kid over 10, they would probably get less out of it.

Visited between 1pm and 2.30pm. Not the best value for money during Feb 1/2 term. £47 for a grand parent a 7 and 3 yo. We were done in an hour. Sounds obvious, but if possible avoid holidays and plan timing when you viait to concide with talks and demonstrations. Very crowded and not able to see displays and aquariums up close. Aquariums are amazing.

A lovely aquarium, so interesting! The feeding talks are great and the fish are very nice to watch. It doesn't take long to walk around but you can use the ticket to enter again on the same day.

A beautiful cathedral with stunning architecture!! Unfortunately I was too late to go inside and look round, but will make a point of doing so next time I’m here. Lots of open grassy areas at the front of the cathedral where people sit and congregate. Definitely worth a look.

My first visit to Bristol Cathedral, a place for both reflection and contemplation whether of any religious faith or none. I especially enjoyed looking at the Oil Fountain. It is good to see a traditional institution like the cathedral engaging in interesting ways with today's world and the issues that affect us.

I'm incredibly impressed with the efforts the cathedral is taking to acknowledge the cathedral's links to slavery and be transparent about the way it has benefited. This is something that other institutions, including museums, should be doing across the country.

Beautiful place to visit. Take your children as they are renovating the organ and get to check out different organ pipes and how they sound. Lots of facts. There is no entrance fee.

What a truly beautiful building. We received a warm welcome and very much enjoyed exploring. Definitely a very special cathedral, steeped in history.

A truly astonishing building. Real history here and such a well preserved monument. Dating back to 1200 this former Medieval building has been restored and added to over the centuries. It's free and open to the public and there is a lot of information available both in small plaques and in a booklet. As you walk around you get a real sense of history and grandeur. There are many tombs here of notable figures and it's like walking in a graveyard. The architecture is stunning with huge arches and beautiful stained glass windows. There are several chambers to explore and you're free to roam. Outside has a huge green which is popular for picnics. Unfortunately the cafe is closed

Went to see the oil exhibit, which was great. Also worth mentioning the 13th century nave and lovely hidden garden.

Stunning architecture! The cathedral also had an exhibition and lots of educational signs. Great place to visit when in Bristol.

Visited May 6, 2019: Beautiful architecture, but have to highlight the back area, since not all cathedrals have such, and how much of a peaceful atmosphere it had. The nearby City Council building makes for an even more inviting area before you enter the cathedral.

Impressive Gothic cathedral in Bristol. Very welcoming atmosphere and free to visit. I really enjoyed the chapter room and the up-close view of the stained glass in the cloisters.

A sprawling wonder in the heart of Bristol city. With so much to see inside this Cathedral, it's very helpful that you are given a map upon entering to find your way around. On top of some stunning architecture, there is a lovely garden there too with benches that are perfect for just sitting and taking in the peaceful atmosphere.

Gorgeous cathedral and entertaining, fun and educational Rev Jonnie!! Pretty much a duplicate of Westminster Abbey and easy to visit. Beautiful gardens too. Highly recommended!

Really enjoyable visit, the stain glass windows are beautiful, plenty to explore with a quaint garden to recharge your batteries in relaxing on one of the seats. Well worth a visit!

Bristol Old City | The Beautiful Medieval Heart of Bristol, historically building & old churches ⛪️ cemeteries 🪦 The Old City traders and businesses proudly invite and welcome you to explore, shop or just let the world go by in the beautiful medieval heart of Bristol.

Bristol Cathedral is one of the finest examples in the world of a medieval hall church, where the vaulted ceiling in the Nave, Quire and Aisles are all at the same height, creating a light and airy space with a series of elegant arches. Splendid architecture. It has always been a living place of sanctuary, teaching, prayer and music right in the heart of the city. Must not be missed, indeed.

Stunning cathedral with a lovely hidden garden and cemetery. I visited it on a Saturday and it was a quiet and peaceful place. I was welcomed by a nice woman who gave me a pamphlet about the cathedral so it was easy to navigate through the different parts of it with explanation and details.

Interesting cathedral, lots to see and learn about it's history. Nice little garden

A really calm and peaceful place to visit. The tour comes with an audio option as well. Stunning architecture and has a bit of history around it

Hmmmmm. So I was very surprised, pleasantly at first, then less so to find the cathedral free to visit, but then prohibiting photography. That was disappointing. Cathedrals are pretty much, without exception, majestic buildings inside and out. This one is certainly no exception, but we have no photos to reminisce with, which is not great. There were people either ignoring the rule or perhaps not understanding the international symbol of a camera in a red circle with a diagonal red line. Shameless or gormless, either way, that's not my bag. So I have one photo. Taken from the outside. Vexed......

Free to enter, donations welcome. Calm space, beautiful cathedral. Times advertised for choirs and services. Lovely, little garden. Cafe and organ under renovation.

Bristol Cathedral is a remarkable medieval hall church with a unique design featuring vaulted ceilings in the Nave, Quire, and Aisles, all at the same height. This creates a spacious and elegant interior adorned with beautiful arches. The cathedral is open from Monday to Friday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, and on Saturday & Sunday, from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm. Inside, you'll discover an exhibition and educational signs, making it an excellent place to explore during your visit to Bristol. The architecture is undeniably breathtaking, and the church exudes a sense of tradition, spirituality, and peace. No entrance fee and we are allowed to take photos.

When we visited there was a lady playing the piano and it sounded wonderful. We could not see everything as some restoration work was being carried out and closed off. It was a real surprise to find a wonderful little garden at the rear of the Cathedral.

Great looking cathedral that they've maintained very well. It looks impressive though the events they host are fairly limited, relative to other locations.

We had been meaning to visit for a year and were lucky to ask a volunteer there something and received a pretty comprehensive explanation of so much there (thanks Elisabeth). The vaulted roof and the stained glass windows have so much history, going back to Norman times and through the Bristol riots in 1830s.

Even though we did not book online for the free entry, it was a breeze to enter the museum. On 4 Jan 2021, 2:45 pm, a young lady service counter staff was very good n patient to explain the exhibits layout and orientate visitors w reference to map on the brochure. Great job! 👍 Enjoy the museum visit thoroughly as the explanation for the exhibits are very clear and easy to understand without too many scientific jargons. If only there were more time to spend at the museum. Great for family with kids as children are also the target audience.

Art & Historical museum that is well diverse. It's been well maintained with a lot of descriptions to keep you entertained. Would recommend to those who enjoy reading and have the time to appreciate the exhibits. Overall, 8/10. Note: You should book tickets beforehand for quicker entry. It's free.

Admission is free, and you can explore a wide variety of art, natural history, and historical exhibits within this beautiful museum building. It features a range of exhibitions, from Ancient Egypt to art spanning the 15th century to contemporary works, as well as displays on natural history, dinosaur fossils, and Earth minerals. To make the most of your visit, it's a good idea to set aside enough time. I had a great time during my visit!

Went for the fabulous dramatic building more than the exhibits but there was a huge choice of subjects all of which are well represented. Great for both adults and kids. Small play area for bored toddlers, toilets and a cafe (although the food service is a bit slow). Highly recommend.

Came for the Grayson Perry exhibition which was excellent. We had never been to the museum before and had a lovely time wandering around looking at all the exhibits. There is a wide range of different art styles and exhibits on display with lots of interesting local history too! Very extensive collection of taxidermy animals. We bought tickets in advance online and did not have to wait long to get in.

Excellent and free city museum. The building itself is absolutely beautiful. A prime example of Victorian era architecture. Set over several floors this has something for everyone. The fine arts collection is impressive with some notable artists on display which gives a sense of grandeur. The Japanese porcelain collection is worth a look too. If you like history the Egyptian exhibition is excellent, informative and interesting. Quite impressive for a smaller UK city. There are also dinosaur fossils on display as well as a prehistoric section. The standout has to the replica airplane hanging from the ceiling. Quite a sight! A great way to spend an hour or two

An excellent cultural adventure through time & space. I loved the Egypt exhibits & the art work, both classical & modern - but I found the taxidermy a little much (hence 4 ⭐️ and not 5. I definable recommend you go check it out. After all, it's absolutely free!

A fantastic museum to visit. I've been coming here for over 35 years, since I was little, and my parents the same before that. Firstly the building is stunning. Worth a visit just to see that. It's quite a older style museum with less of the more modern interactive exhibits you see elsewhere. But they do a fantastic job of rotating exhibits and getting in guest exhibits so it's rarely the same between each visit. Also has a nice cafe and fantastic play area for the children. Very much worth the visit.

I visited here last week, and was pleasantly surprised how much there is to see. I especially enjoyed the Natural History but there's lots of other interesting things here too. And it was nice to see the lovely Plateosaurus, one of my all time favourite dinosaurs ❤️

A museum worth visiting! Very well curated and with some really interesting displays! My favourite part was the Egyptian one but there is so much more to see!

I’ve been here twice now and I’ve loved the museum and gallery both times. I think the gallery interests me a lot more than the museum area, but if I had children I think they’d find many of the museum exhibitions very exciting. There are a variety of paintings and in different styles, some of the rooms are filled with portraits and the feeling that they are all looking at you (especially when you are alone) is very intense. Their gift shop has postcards and prints of many of the more significant paintings in the gallery, such as La Belle Dame Sans Merci which was there in all its romantic grandeur. It’s worth going here for a date or simply with your friends.

Went to see the Grayson Perry ‘Art Club’ exhibition which was amazing by itself, but to have all the other exhibitions to see as you meander through is fantastic value. Free entry but we were more than happy to buy tickets to support this. Everyone there, young and old, seemed to really be enjoying it. There is a cafe as well and the food looked great!

The best for free museum I have been to. Even one of my favourites if we did have to pay. There are many of interesting things to see. From dinosaurs to glass bottles and paintings. There is a large group of dead animals that is very cool and interesting to look at. So two thumbs up from me for this cool museum 😎👌

A beautiful building in terms of architecture, full of amazing historical pieces as well as art. Particular stand outs are the Egyptian exhibition, dinosaur fossils & the beautiful art galleries upstairs. We decided to arrive early in the day and had the museum to ourselves for the entire duration (about 2 hours). Highly recommend visiting if you're in Bristol.

It is a must visit place if you are visiting Bristol. It has quite a few good activities for kids as well. I was impressed by the section on people with disabilities and its influences on art. It is a free entry but you will be pleased to donate after the nice visit.

Fantastic museum. It's free entry with donation optional for entry to exhibitions small fee extra. So much to look out we ran out of time. Very educational child friendly with activities for them in the back. Storage lockers and wheelchair access. Friendly staff and fun activity

Went to this museum for the Chinese new year celebrations. It was great! Great performances lots of activities for kids to do and the whole museum it's self is really good there's so much to look at. All the staff were really helpful and friendly. Somthing for everyone there definitely need to go back again for a proper look around

Filled with history, geology, art, and what not! Very well maintained museum. There is a café on the ground floor and a gift shop as well. Went there on a weekend but there wasn't any queue. The location is very nice for anytime visit ( next to Will Memorial Building, University of Bristol/ and 10-15min walking distance from city centre ). Overall very nice place to visit.

While the museum had some amazing animals featured and some amazing Egyptian artifacts. It felt like it was full of "filler" creatures. It was still amazing to see all the animals of course but it would've been very cool to see a mammoth to scale. Nonetheless, the place had some cool fossils too which were very impressive. The only downside was really the fact that there wasn't enough content. It had a cool shop and a café so enjoy :) Definitely recommend a visit!

Great place to visit. Lots to see. Suitable for all ages. Children's workshop. Beautiful building with rooms set out with art, history, science, dinosaur bones, aviation, etc. Nice gift shop. Highly recommend 👌

I have visited the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery twice now to see two exhibits and enjoyed my visit both times. Not only have I taken in the exhibit I went to see but also got to see the rest of the museum and gallery. This is great is you have kids, if you are a nature, history or art lover, there is bound to be something for you. There is also a nice café in which you can grab a drink and a bite to eat. The gift shop too is nice and you can grab something to remember your trip if you are that way inclined. I mostly like to take as many photos as is allowed and do some sketching if possible. To visit the Museum and gallery itself I believe is normally free, with different paid exhibits being hosted there at different times of the year. The photos below are not of the wildlife photographer of the year as you were not allowed to take photos. They are of the southwest coast exhibit and some other exhibits on when I visited. This included a great section on dinosaurs that if you have any little ones that are fans of dinosaurs, they would have loved. It is only a small section but they have real fossils, some really big ones and this leads directly into the natural history part with all the other stuffed animals. It is very interesting. A definite must see if you are visiting Bristol.

Wonderful venue, gorgeous architecture. So many artefacts, displays and information from all over the world. I loved the various art galleries, so well cared for. Lots to see and explore, highly recommended.

Various topic areas covered, such as wildlife, archaeology and ceramics, with an impressive collection of art. Free entry for the standing collections (but donations appreciated), charges for special exhibitions.

Very big museum close to the center of Bristol. No reservations needed and there is no entrance fee. There are several exhibitions, all very interesting. There is a minerals section, a dinosaur section and a whole floor with animals. You also have a cup of coffee inside. There is a bookstore where you can find some books about banksy. It's a nice museum for kids too (many activities and it's very interesting for them too). I totally recommend it.

It's a very huge museum. We had only an hour to explore this place and it was not at all enough. You require 4-5 hours to explore all the floors and it's recommended to check the map within and decide what exhibits you want to see first and spend more time on. Take your time and try to see each and every part of the museum

Loved it and free (and warm) Some remarkable fossils, topical display on Mary Anning, lots of natural history and other sections. Could have spent much longer. Great for children and a remarkable cafe. Thank you Bristol

I really liked this place the service was great the food was great and great value I'm a fussy eater and I like just plain cheese burger which was no hassle for them to do that also I like J20 in a pint glass topped off with lemonade wich was also no problems. The food was quick the person who brought the food over I asked for salt and vinegar he went and got it for me and told me wear everything was if I needed anything else which was helpful. I really enjoyed my visit and it's such a great location on the harbour side. What is stopping me from giving the 5 stars on this place was how wobbly the table and chairs was although it was on the dancefloor area I'm guessing could be caused by being moved about alot also the table numbers I was on table 9 wich I thought was a 6 but apparently it's a common issue that's causes alot of confusion. Other than that I really enjoyed my visit and really hope to return again soon.

Great harbour side pub with all the best of wetherspoon hospitality. Nice decor but it's all about the outside space here.

So at 17:15 on 06/10/2023 we ordered the smalls plates any 3 for £15.33. Back home we always get the chicken bites, wings and pizza. Anyhow, today I just wanted some cheesy chips (I orderer side of chicken gravy to put on it) The chips are only £2.60 approx so we never order that with this deal because of value for money but cheese on there would justify a couple £ more. Anyhow- my 'cheesy- chips come with some flakes of cheese on!? I instantly said to the waitress it was supposed to be cheesy chips. She took them back to put cheese on and chef on shift said "that is how cheesy chips are served". So I will just share the image of this 'chefs' definition of "cheesy chips" and leave it at that. Image will speak for itself.

Good food, reasonably quick service great atmosphere, very busy as most spoons are. Re fillable coffees is a hit, tasty food. Had to clean off our table, but not a real issue.

Service was extremely slow despite there only being three other tables. Ordered a burger and the bun came out charred which left a rather gross taste - my friends beef burger came out pink. Both meals went cold very quickly and were brought out only warm. Drinks weren't brought to the table until after the food came out, and had to be asked about. The male server who dealt with our drinks, however, was nice.

Great selection of well poured beers. Friendly and fast service, as you expect at a ‘Spoons. Stunning location on the canal with a great vibe. Two pints (Cider & Guinness) for under £6. Tons of meal deals and rapid table service. Huge place with cracking beer garden (split into smoking & non smoking). Can’t wait to go back.

The service was pretty fast but it was busy so I don't blame them. Not much to say about atmosphere. The food tasted amazing and there is loads of different drink and food options. I recommend especially if you are going out with family or friends for a while.

Wetherspoons in good location over looking the Bristol marina. Ordered on line but had to go bar to collect, service bit slow but went up to bar after and all staff were friendly. What other place in great location can you get bottle of wine for £12.90, great value.

Stayed over in Bristol for my sisters Hen Do, we went to V Shed before our night out for a late lunch and the staff were great, food was delivered to the table quickly. The next day we came in hungover from celebrating the night before, we got some breakfast, great service from the bar staff on the top floor. I explained my sister is the bride but she couldn't make it to breakfast due to being hungover and could I have her meal for takeaway. They were more than happy to help-even put a cute note in the box. Thankyou for the great service and good food. 😊

3 floors of spoons with music, what more could you want! Drinks were in plastic (not sure why) lots of toilets, but very dated. The whole place felt like it needed a refresh but the atmosphere was nice and was easy enough to get a table and served on a Saturday evening (around 8pm)

Another fine Miner’s Benedict at another Weatherspoon’s establishment. Excellent speedy service, perfectly cooked eggs and buzzing Sunday morning atmosphere 😁

You know what to expect at a 'Spoons! Service was a bit slow and tables were not being cleaned as fast as they should have been. Food was good value.

From the moment I stepped in, two ladies greeted me. I sat down and ordered online and Large breakfast and a coffee. Not even 5 minutes gone and already been served my breakfast and coffee which was done for me by one of the ladies after the asked what coffee would I like. Perfect breakfast, perfectly cooked and perfectly presented.

Excellent location overlooking the quay. Very popular with younger clientele. I had an ale (see photo) which was okay and enjoyed the atmosphere. Nicely designed with good outdoor space and three tiered. Certainly a contender for best spoons in Bristol, although not too impressive with the choice of ales

Beautiful theatre. We sat in the stalls (F33/34) and the view was amazing, but looking around it seemed that you would get a great view no matter where you sat. The toilets were easily accessible and clean. The only downside was getting into the venue was like herding sheep. Once you had your bag and ticket checked you were put into a queue depending on where you were sat. We had to stand for some time queuing on the stairs which was uncomfortable as I have mobility issues. Prices for food and drinks were what you come to expect from Theatres; expensive. The show itself was phenomenal and I would definitely recommend a visit to watch it.

Small seats are the worst thing, cramped legs, floor slopes at the back upper rear floor, but you get used to it, once up there. Very red decor. knees hitting the back of the seat in front on you, you do get uncomfortable on the seats as well. Built years ago when people weren't as tall as they are today. Have to just put up with it. Was a hot evening as well, air con could of been a bit better. Provided drinking water stations free, which is nice. Que not too bad, bags checked on entering, safety thing, location pretty good, parking in Bristol is terrible especially if you're in a van, all parking garages are 2m head height nearby, something to consider. Decent show the lion king

Went to see Shrek the musical at the Bristol Hippodrome. I booked tickets long ago and since became a wheelchair user, so our tickets were not for the wheelchair accessible area. This was fine as I can use my walking stick. We called the theatre during the day to ask if there would be somewhere to store my wheelchair and was assured there would be. Upon arriving I was told to store my wheelchair behind the piano in the main bar. After the show we came out of a side exit so one of my companions went to collect it for me. He wasn't stopped or questioned by any members of staff. Anyone could have walked off with my wheelchair and they can be very expensive. The merchandise booth was just inside the main doors meaning when people queued up there it made a crowd that was difficult to get through, people in the queue were then asked to queue on the stairs excluding myself and other wheelchair users. Overall beautiful theatre but poorly organized in the evening.

Beautiful old theatre, lovely and helpful staff. The overall experience is wonderful, however if you have mobility issues or use a wheelchair be aware that the venue has no lift. I managed the many stairs up to the grand circle with help from my wife and daughter. There are a few ‘accessible seats but the view isn’t brilliant. Don’t let this prevent you going though, because the performance (Wicked) was incredible

Amazing venue for the events. Amazing staff that makes everything go smoothly. Thank you ! PS : "Madam Butterfly" was exquisite, just to say it in one word !

Amazing! Beautiful theatre, amazing hospitality team that were super helpful. An abundance of boosters for smaller children. Lots of points for drink ordering and snacks, and enough toilets! Overall fantastic venue - would definitely recommend. The photo depicts the view from stall seat L6.

I really enjoyed my experience there. Staff was polite and professional. It's always a great place to see some plays or performances. Fairly pricey, but individual to everyone.

We have watched a few things now at the hippodrome it's by far the best 🎥 theater we have been to. Wicked was amazing first part of the performance the theater was soooo hot the air con wasn't on so we were glad to get a drink during the interval,It was pretty manic as well only down side really. Second part of the performance was a lot more cooler and manageable. Door staff were great did a great job of getting everyone in swiftly definitely worth trying out.

My husband and I arrived not long before the start of the We will rock you show and made our way to our seats (very top section). I have no problem at all with heights (so thought it would be fine to get seats there), but as I was making my way up all the stairs, with lots of people in front of me and behind me, I started to feel very claustrophobic and panicky (this is new for me since having covid so unexpected). I managed to get to the top slowly, but stood at the very back for the first few minutes of the show. Unfortunately I couldn’t stay there and decided I’d have to miss the show as I was panicking and couldn’t calm myself down where I was. We were trying to find our way out, when we bumped into a lovely man (I can only assume he was management as I was in to much of a state to take any note at that time). He could see I was upset and asked if he could help. I explained we were trying to leave as I couldn’t stay where we’d bought our tickets due to my panic attack. He asked us to follow him and led us to some seating on the ground level where I could see I was near the exit. This was such an amazing thing to do, as we would have missed the whole show if he hadn’t done this. I’d love to say thank you to him and let him know he really did massively help. I managed to calm myself down and really enjoyed the show! We will rock you was fab! And we’ll be back again! However I will most definitely book seats on the lower level next time 👌

It was my first visit to the Hippodrome in about 10 years. This venue is simply stunning. We had seats in Row A of the stalls, and the seats were very comfortable with plenty of legroom. There was a disturbance about an hour into the show, but the staff dealt with it very quickly and professionally, and I think the majority of people didn't even notice. Again, I was disappointed that the box office was unable to provide a print of my tickets, but it didn't ruin my fantastic experience.

Lovely theatre, all round friendly staff. Great view from the Grand Circle. However the leg room in Row A is a bit tight and I'm only 5ft2! Overall, had a great afternoon seeing Mother Goose after seeing it back in January whilst it was playing in London!

The Hippodrome theatre is very well located in the centre of Bristol. Good decor, clean. A bit cramped but that is to be expected. The staff were friendly and I was pleased to see they were making sure people didn't have their phones out during the performance.

Brilliant show tonight #Annie. Everyone so talented. Fantastic theatre too.

Went to see Wicked. Show absolutely 5 stars. Reason for the 2 stars for the theatre is for the unbearable heat 🔥🥵 throughout the show. For February it was fairly warm day outside (around 14 degrees). The theatre had every radiator on that I past on my way to the upper circle. The lady usher at the top had a floor standing fan on her and window open to cool her down with a table of water for guests. Clearly if she requires this why are the radiators blasting heat out. It literally was quite unbearable. If you're going I'd suggest loose fitting clothes even perhaps a bikini 👙 for ladies, beach shorts 🩳 for the gents and a cocktail with umbrella 🍹

Staff did a good job at managing the volume of people packed in for Hamilton and made it a pleasant evening. The auditorium is nicely restored, but even as a slim person I found the seats to be somewhat snug. This was exacerbated by being in the front row of the grand circle which had shorter legroom than the other rows, which wasn’t necessary a great price to pay for the optimal view of being in the front row. It’s pretty neat to be able to order intermission food/drink to your seat, and that all worked well. Acoustics aren’t as sharp as in some other venues, but it didn’t unduly attract from the experience

It really is an incredible & beautiful theatre with impressive original features. However! We were sat Upper Circle Row K which is literally the very back of the theatre; no seats up here, this is a bench & it is incredibly uncomfortable. The bench is so narrow it’s hard to sit still & there is absolutely no leg room either. A number of people on the row had to stand during the performance to stretch their legs. Our show was just under 3 hours & sadly I couldn’t wait for it to finish so I could move. Also with all these old theatre spaces, it is boiling hot after an hour or so. I bought one bottle of Pepsi Max at the concession stand which was £3.80 which also made my eyes water. It’s a great theatre but the experience of seeing the show would make me question coming again.

A stunning theatre, easy walking distance from the train station (about 15 mins) surrounded by an interesting array of pubs, bars and restaurants. Inside, the theatre has bar areas on different floors, though they can quickly become very busy and crowded before the opening of a show. Hot drinks are only served in the ground floor bar. Seats are comfortable but there is very little leg room, even for short people! Staff are incredibly professional, helpful and efficient. At the end of the show, it is a very slow process to get out, due to sheer numbers of people, steep steps and narrow stairwells.

Amazing service, though being aware the upper circle stairs are very steep with no type of support to help the unsteady down, seats weren't the most comfortable. But the show was amazing as were the staff.

Great view and so lucky to get front row, upper circle. My granddaughters first experience of ballet. They loved the view around the theatre. Being able to pre order for the interval and have it brought to our seats is much less stressful than going to the kiosk or bar with 2 children in tow.

Lovely theatre, it's well kept & a pretty looking old theatre. Staff were all friendly. Bags searched on arrival. We arrived an hour early to get to our seats, grab our drinks & use the toilet before getting seated which was plenty of time. We watched Wicked & had an amazing time & thought the show was fantastic. Our seats gave us a good enough view to see everything. To be able to afford a better seat & view is a dear do! We sat in the Stalls T16&17. You could pre order your drinks for the break which I thought was a great idea & saved you re-queuing for a half time refreshments. (Although there was a queue to collect them it was quicker than the bar & shorter as they were ready to go) Cons - Not enough toilets for the break, queues as always to the ladies toilet. Drinks were expensive!!! £10 a glass of wine is extortionate really & they have you under a wine barrel really don't they whilst your there if you want a refreshment! (And a tiny tub of vanilla ice-cream for my daughter was priced at £4.80 a tub) expensive for what it was. I understand a profit has to be made but really this much? Great night though. We would revisit for another great show :)

Beautiful and breathtaking gothic looking church and equally if not more impressive inside. The detail and architecture of this church is simply stunning, we went on a Saturday afternoon and it was peaceful and quite calm. So much history shared on boards around the church and the garden is just perfect and tranquil. A beautiful afternoon spent in a beautiful church with wonderful company.

Very important church as great as its reputation They provide information in many languages ภาษาไทยด้วย!! Allowing you to enjoy the history that he has. And the day I went They still have religious ceremonies too. It gives me goosebumps

Must and should visit this place for the architect and history they have......Entry is free, photography is allowed and people can pray calmly

This church's architecture is nothing short of mind blowing and definitely worth a visit. I got the luxury of going inside the church during the Bristol Light Festival. The inside was lit in a beautiful ambience dedicated to only the greatest of landmarks. One of the most impressive churches to visit in all of the United Kingdom.

This church is so beautiful, with unique architecture and so much to learn about Bristol history. Quite disappointing to see tiles devoted to Colstone removed and unbelievable far left propaganda about him on posters. But if you just ignore that, you will have a very inspiring and invigorating experience here.

We attended this church Saturday gone for a candlelight concert ran by Fever to watch a string quartet perform a tribute to Queen although in low light the building was just of outstanding beauty we definitely plan to go back in the daytime

An astonishingly beautiful parish church, really a cathedral status ecclesiastical building. I was fortunate to be here for my son’s graduation from the Old Vic Theatre School, and I really cannot think of a nobler environment to culminate those young graduates time in Bristol

The staff were approachable and very friendly, the performance and venue were excellent! We had a great night, thank you

It's a stunning church very old, if i remeber correctly it is , roughly 900+years. Lots of detail put into the architecture. It is free to enter, but you can do donations at the door and have a small gift shop to remember your visit.

St. Mary Redcliffe Church in Bristol, located near Bristol Temple Meads Railway Station, has a rich history spanning over 800 years. It's a remarkable example of exquisite craftsmanship and architectural brilliance. We strolled from Bristol Temple Meads Railway Station to explore this historic church, and inside, it exudes a strong sense of tradition, peace, and spirituality. There is no entrance fee and we are allowed to take photos.

This richly decorated parish church is a masterpiece of masonry and noble example of perpendicular architecture. The present building was begun at the end of the thirteenth century, though it was added to subsequent centuries, much of it by William Canynges, a wealthy medieval shipping magnate and five times Mayor of Bristol, who swapped commerce for the cloth and is buried in a canopied altar tomb in the south transept. The soaring spire provides one of the distinctive features of the city's skyline dates from 1872. Crandiose and beautiful!

Beautiful Grade 1 listed church. The poets Samuel T. Coleridge and Robert Southey were both married here. Thomas Wordsworth "marvelous boy" whose formative years were spent contemplating the Gothic splendor of this church. It was Elizabeth I who visited Bristol is said to called St. Mary Redcliffe.

It's my favourite church to visit when I'm in Bristol. Lovely place for just quiet reflection and prayers. The highlight for me is always lighting a candle for me fam, friends and loved ones in Heaven 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Really well designed church. Gothic style with a mix of other unique and distinctive styles from the artists involved in the building on this church. It looks like a really old church but it is well mainted as it not dirty and their grounds are well taken care of. The gardens where this church is located are very quiet and peaceful almost to the level that you are able to medite in them. I didn't explore inside of the church but it looks fone on photos and spacious.

I liked it. Straightforward times. Very welcoming. Regularly host choirs and exhibitions. Would definitely go again in spare time around this area.

Took a tour as part of a English Hritage members nly event that also included Temple Church. I'm Bristolian born and bred but had no idea about most of the information we were given. Have attended a funeral in the church before, but having someone knowledgable showing you around makes such a difference. There are unsolvable access issues here, so be aware if you struggle with stairs.

A spectacular, beautiful church in the centre of Bristol. Often assumed to be a cathedral it is so large and wonderful, it is actually a parish church. Well worth visiting.

The show was amazing. It is a super small theater which felt like a private showing, but there were enough people there to make it fun. The magicians were awesome. We laughed and while I knew some of the tricks, there were plenty that left me with no clue how they did it. Drinks were great, don't order the pizza unless you just can't make it till after the show.

Went for the comedy magic show on a Saturday and had a great time. The first half (which is mostly a comedy show) was hilarious. Second half was more magic which is awesome if you like that sort of thing

I recently dined at Cote Restaurant and was impressed by the excellent service provided by Giorgia, the manager. From the moment we arrived, Giorgia ensured that our dining experience was exceptional. She was attentive, accommodating, and went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied with our meal. The ambiance of the restaurant was delightful, complemented by the delicious French cuisine served. Overall, Giorgia's exceptional service added to the enjoyment of our evening, and I would highly recommend dining at Cote Restaurant for a memorable experience.

Nice unique little venue next to the hipodrome. Back room allows for shows with an intimate audience setting. Saw a great comedy/magic routine with friends and had a great couple of hours.

What shall I say? Awesome awesome awesome show. Not only magic, but super fun. We loved the show presented by Richard Newman and Dan Chard and got stunned for 2 hours straight. I did not have that much fun in months, so if you come to Bristol, you must book a slot and watch this show. Get there a bit earlier as you get the best seats then and you get entertained by the house magician before the show and can enjoy a lovely cocktail or beer. We will never forget this experience :)

Fun evening watching some magic. Something different, and accessible. Talented tricks with light hearted magic shows. Food was nice and reasonably priced. Would recommend

I brought my dad here with the voucher deal, which entitles you to a show, pizza, fries, and a drink. The show was hilarious and the audience was great as well. The pizza was alright but the fries were lovely. Right outside there is a taxi rank as well as a great pickup space for Ubers. It was a great experience and I would recommend it greatly.

one of the best nights out we’ve had in bristol!! small audience really works here. The show was fantastic, I laughed so much, more then seeing a big name comedian! Good fun and great location if you want to bar hop beforehand :)

Had a great nights entertainment with magic and comedy. Wasn't surewhat to expect given the size of the venue but was pleasantly surprised. The host and show were fantastic, would highly recommend.

Really good night out, the bar area has an old school vibe to it, wooden tops green tiles and bar stools sets the vibe. Do the comedy night for £30 each and you won't regret it, the back room is small, well ventilated and intimate. The comedy was more of a performance that interacts with the guests. The food was ok and basic, you don't visit this establishment for food. Highly entertaining and would visit again.

What a great show A bit expensive but worth it The vibes were amazing I loved it so much The nachos were not good at all but other than that the place is worth a visit Highly recommended

Pros Great intimate venue, very friendly and helpful staff, clean, live music. Entertaining and funny magic show! Cons - There was nowhere to put my drinks while watching the show so I had to put my beer by my feet which I kept knocking with my foot and having to bend down to pick up. - The crowd participation was really fun but even though there were only 15-20 people the same 5 people kept getting picked to go up on stage which was disappointing. - There really wasn't much of a selection for beers and they had also ran out of some of the ones they did have --- Some other things to note is you don't get to choose where you sit so don't worry about arriving too early to try and get a good seat

This was our first visit to Smoke and Mirrors, and it definitely won't be our last! We had a fabulous evening - the house magician doing close up magic was really good, and was a great way to start the night. It was a sign of the high quality magic we were about to experience throughout the night, with Jaimie doing many impressive slight of hand and misdirection tricks right in front of us. Once it was time for the main show to begin, we were called through (although we nearly didn't as we had forgotten to register with the staff that we had arrived - make sure you do otherwise you won't be called through!), and were sat down at a table in a very cosy room - a really intimate gig but it enhanced the experience for us and made it feel really personal which was nice. Marc was fantastic and certainly knew what he was doing. We really enjoyed the show, and the show put on the guest performer of the night too. It never felt awkward or stilted, and we were made to feel welcome in the pub and for the show. Thanks for a great night and we hope to return soon!

Came for the comedy magic show and thoroughly enjoyed it. There was a little bit of magic in the bar beforehand which was a good warm-up to the show. The room for the show was perfect in that it was intimate and we were all facing the stage on our own tables and could easily see the stage. The deal we booked involved prosecco and a shared pizza - both were very nice. The magicians were very entertaining - got the audience involved, amazed us and made us laugh - what more could you want!

Mid week Thursday magic trip to smoke and mirrors. Absolutely brilliant. Go see it. Mark Bennett was hilarious.
