9 Half-Term Activities For Families In Bristol | February 2020
Posted on: 03 Feb 2020If January felt as if it really dragged, then we’ve got some good news: the half-term break is nearly here!
This February half-term (15 Feburary to 23 Feburary), there’s loads of family-friendly activities that you and the kids can get stuck in to; from fabulous theatre to exciting trails.
Here’s our top nine picks.
See a family-friendly production @ The Redgrave Theatre
This half-term, the Redgrave Theatre in Clifton is hosting not one, but two family-friendly shows.
First up, catch Sarah and Duck's Big Top Birthday.
A magical production of puppetry, storytelling and music, see how Sarah, Duck and friends plan a birthday party for Scarf Lady.
Then, on Monday 17 February, see the Amazing Bubble Man (a.k.a Louis Pearl).
Experience Pearl’s thrilling blend of art, music and science as you encounter the fun and wonder of bubbles. They’ll be bags of comedy and audience participation, too.
Explore the Bristol Hippodrome with a guided tour
Every Saturday, Bristol’s West End Theatre, the Bristol Hippodrome invites the general public to take a guided tour of its premises.
A chance to uncover the glimmer and glamour of the Hippodrome, which first opened in 1912, the guided tour is a no-brainer for local theatre fans.
Delve into the history of the theatre and find out what it takes to put on a world-class show.
Hear about the shows, the stars, and get the inside scoop on theatre gossip. And of course, you can expect to hear some ghost stories, too. Book via the website.
Climb high @ Clip ’n Climb
Open from 10:00 until 18:00 throughout the half-term break, Clip ‘n Climb Bristol is the perfect place for kids to let off some steam whilst having fun.
Varying challenges, helpful instructors and an on-site café: it’s the stress-free half-term activity we can all look forward to.
