Father's Day in Bristol

Fathers day is on Sunday 18 June 2023, so why not treat your Dad, Father or Father-figure to a lovely day in Bristol?

There are several free celebrations to join in over the weekend, including a day of free music, games and festivities at Bristol Cathedral's Party on the Green, get involved with workshops and walks for Festival of Nature, or experience the cuisines, cultures and communities of East Bristol at Around The World in BS5.

Channel your inner James Bond at Aerospace Bristol's annual car show or meet the dinosaurs at Berkeley Castle on Sunday 18th. For a more relaxing Father's Day, you could visit one of the city's latest exhibitions, including Oil Fountain by Luke Jerram at Bristol Cathedral or The Cave Art of Lascaux: a Virtual Reality Experience at Bristol Museum & Art Gallery. Or go to see the temporary Victorian Cricket exhibition at Brunel's SS Great Britain.

Tickets to a show make for a great Father's Day gift, why not opt for Disney's The Lion King at Bristol Hippodrome or Bristol Comedy Garden?

Spend the weekend exploring Bristol with the family, whether you opt for a City Dock Tours with Bristol Packet Boat Trips, the Highlights Tour of Bristol Cathedral, or the chance to explore Bristol's quirkiest corners on a walking tour.

Celebrate the day in style with a delicious Sunday roast dinner at Bowood House, a two-course lunch with cocktails at Harvey Nichols, or take a shuttle boat service to Beeses riverside bar with Bristol Ferry. You can also book onto a Father's Day whiskey and cheese tasting at Spirited in Bedminster.

Dads can get a free main course and a free pint at Chophouse Restaurant by Cabot Circus, or a free pint at The Maple Restaurant in Cleeve on Father's Day. View more options for Sunday lunch here.

Celebrate over the weekend at a 4-day beer festival at King Street Brew House, with half-price Brewery Tours also available all day over that weekend.

If you're feeling adventurous, have a go at some pond dipping and bug hunting at RSPB Ham Wall, jump on a Segway to explore Ashton Court Estate, paddleboard around the harbour, or go on a scenic cycling trip along the Strawberry Line Cycle Path.

Or choose to spend the weekend unwinding with a Father's Day spa package at Aztec Hotel & Spa.
