Things to do in Bristol when it rains
Posted on: 21 Nov 2016The weather looks to be against us in Bristol this week! Luckily there are still plenty of things to do in our city. 365Bristol have put together a list of some of the best rainy-day activities on offer for you and your family while the Sun takes a bit of time off...
Of course, the cinema is always a great option when the weather is against you! Check out our ultimate guide to cinemas in Bristol.
Clip 'n Climb
Clip 'n Climb is composed of a wide selection of climbing-based activities providing healthy, challenging fun for all the family! Test your resolve and determination across all of their separate challenges - climb commando style on the Jungle Gym, reach new heights on the Skyscraper, take the Speed Climbing challenge, tangle yourself in Spaghetti, dare to tackle the Lightning Crack or race your friends up the Stairway to Heaven!
No climbing experience is necessary and full briefing is given. Visitors are required to arrive 15 minutes prior to your booked session for your introduction and briefing as part of your fun-packed session and full equipment will be provided. Indoor climbing has never been easier or safer as automatic belay devices take in the slack while you climb before lowering you gently to the ground.
