The Easter holidays are here, so treat the family to a day in Bristol as there are lots of things to see and do come rain or shine. 

Discover family-friendly things to do and special events to keep the kids entertained during the Easter break.

Take a trip around Bristol's historic harbour with Bristol Ferry, enjoy fish and chips aboard The Matthew, or join a historical walk along Bristol’s dockside to hear about infamous pirates and privateers.

Get the kids trying a new skill at Mendip Activity Centre, including archery, skiing and axe throwing, or thrillseekers will also love spending a day out on the high ropes course in Ashton Court Estate, a Tree Top Challenge in the Forest of Dean, or walkways through the trees at Westonbirt Arboretum and Bristol Zoo Project.

Book in for a tasty roast dinner on Easter Sunday, whether you opt for a homely lunch at The Cottage or Ring o' Bells, an award-winning roast at BANK, or the opulent surrounds of Brunel's SS Great Britain.

Great value days out
