Rainy Days Out in Bristol

Bristol is a great place to visit whatever the weather, we know it can be a blow when rain arrives while you're on holiday, but if there's one thing the UK is famous for, it's the unpredictable weather. So grab your brolly and don't fret, because Bristol is full of wet-weather attractions and activites to keep everyone busy when the skies turn grey.

There are cosy museums and galleries, such as MShed, Bristol Museum and Art Gallery, and the Arnolfini, indoor sports from golf at InPlay Golf and Jungle Rumble Adventure Golf to ten-pin bowling at The Lanes plus soft play centres Jump and Playspace and historic churches, cathedrals and indoor/covered shopping centres and markets.

Below are just some of our top ways to while away a rainy day, without worrying about the weather...

The Met Office have also compiled their own list of things to do on a rainy day in Bristol, which you can read by clicking here.
