Celebrate with food & drink
Enjoy a two or three course Sunday roast onboard Brunel's SS Great Britain with your family (children’s meals are available). Take advantage of being on the great ocean liner and explore the ship before or after your meal.
Looking for a more casual day of food and drink? Make a day of it by visiting our local breweries, or sampling their wares in a pub. If your dad is more of a wine connoisseur, treat them to a wine tasting at KASK in Southville or Veeno near Temple Meads. Or head to Spirited for a cocktail or whisky flight.
Experiences
If you and your father figure are more of a do-er, you can explore the experiences on Yuup: from stand-up paddle boarding on the Bristol Harbourside, to pottery, welding workshops and more.
Aztec Hotel and Spa have great offers on their spa treatments, from 50-minute facial treatments, to back massages and more.
Activities and Attractions
Get up close to Bristol cars at the Aerospace Car Show on Father's Day, with the chance to see Jaguars, Aston Martins and Rileys. Explore the mind-boggling world of Merida at Wake The Tiger, or see the animals and exhibits at Bristol Aquarium.
The best kind of family time.. is competitive family time! Challenge your family to a game of crazy golf at Wookey Hole and wander around the caves and caverns. Looking for other ways to bring out the competitive side of your loved ones? Visit one of our games or activity bars.
Exhibitions
If you’re into art and nature, you can view an exhibition at Bristol Museum & Art Gallery. Take a look at the Bristol Museum shop after for gifts.
For more cultural days out, check the latest listings and events at the RWA, Spike Island and Arnolfini galleries.
Pop to the shops
