SCHOOL’S OUT!

Looking for things to do during the holidays? From drama workshops to kayaking to exploring the world’s first amazement park, we’ve got plenty of ideas for a summer of family fun...

Ss Great Britain

ssgreatbritain.org; Great Western Dockyard, Gas Ferry Rd, Bristol BS1 6TY

Join Brunel’s SS Great Britain as they celebrate the ship’s 180th birthday this summer. The SS Great Britain was launched right here in Bristol in 1843 and, since her homecoming in 1970, she has been restored to her former glory as the world’s first great ocean liner as well as one of Bristol’s best days out for families.

Explore the cabins, engine room and galley on board, climb the rigging with Go Aloft! and take part in a special family food trail from 19 July onwards, following in the footsteps of the ship’s cook. Visit the website for more information.
