Bristol for Groups

It’s no wonder that artists, musicians, architects and scientists have sought inspiration in the extraordinary city of Bristol. It is positively bursting with group-friendly things to do, both in the city centre and in the surrounding countryside and market towns.

Famed for its maritime history and culture, but increasingly known for its food, gardens and sustainable approach to living, Bristol is the 2015 European Green Capital. Year-round festivals, award-winning visitor and cultural attractions, great restaurants, stunning cityscapes and jaw-dropping street art; Bristol doesn’t just buzz, it thumps.

Brunel’s SS Great Britain and the Clifton Suspension Bridge are both known throughout the world as masterpieces of Victorian engineering and Brunel-themed itineraries are popular with groups.

There are ample opportunities to combine traditional theatre and shopping visits with the west end shows of the Bristol Hippodrome or the contemporary theatre at Bristol Old Vic and Tobacco Factory Theatres. Match these with free time in the city’s central shopping area or the Mall at Cribbs Causeway. Find time to visit one of the established food, arts or Christmas markets too.

For the more unusual visit, Bristol can offer a range of unique tours celebrating everything from pirates to street art.  Brewery tours, wine tasting and food festivals are also poplar with groups.

Close to the Cotswolds, Bath, Cardiff and the stunning Cheddar Gorge and Somerset countryside, Bristol is an excellent place for groups wanting to enjoy a day trip or a short break and is ideal as a base to explore the wider South West and South Wales regions.
