Bristol's Family Event Scene

While Bristol is well known for it's hedonistic nightlife, it's also home to many young families looking for child-friendly events. A lot of the city's key tourist attractions like @Bristol (now renamed We The Curious) and the Aquarium run one-off events providing entertainment for all the family. Both are located on the Harbourside making that a key location for families visiting from out of town. The SS Great Britain is a big draw for families wanting to look round the famous naval ship, but they also offering chilling pirate stories as an additional attraction.

Windmill Hill City Farm and Bristol Zoo run regular workshops introducing children to environmental issues and you can also get the kids started on a budding acting career at the Tobacco Factory Theatre.

Ashton Court hosts the Bristol Balloon Festival annually. A wildly popular family event featuring (you guessed it) giant hot air balloons as well as flying demonstrations from the RFA and enough food and drink to keep any kid happy.

“Filmmaker Leah Galant moved to Germany to trace her family's Holocaust history, expecting a familiar story of return. Then she was detained while filming a pro-Palestine demonstration and charged with antisemitism, and the past could no longer be separated from the present. Weaving together a Holocaust survivor's descendant, a historian descended from Nazis and a Palestinian artist, alongside Galant's own father's struggle with ALS, Landscapes of Memory asks how memorials can honour lives without being co-opted to perpetuate harm. A deeply personal, thought-provoking film that premiered at True/False 2026.”
