Bristol’s Cozy Indoor Escapes: A Weekend of Warmth and Entertainment

Embrace the winter chill in Bristol with a weekend of cozy indoor escapes. From interactive waterfront adventures to savoring the rich flavors of local breweries, discover the warmth and entertainment that Bristol has to offer.

Embracing the Chill: A Cozy Weekend in Bristol

As the winter chill envelops Bristol, the city offers a warm embrace through its vibrant indoor escapes. This weekend, as the skies remain overcast and the air carries a slight chill, Bristol invites you to explore its rich history and culture from the comfort of its indoor attractions. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, the city’s indoor experiences promise warmth, entertainment, and a touch of adventure.

Begin your weekend with the Waterfront Adventure on the morning of January 4th. This interactive exploration game transforms Bristol’s waterfront into a digital adventure, where you can solve challenges and unlock stories on your mobile device. As you navigate through the city’s hidden gems, you’ll discover the captivating history of The SS Great Britain and other iconic landmarks. The game offers a unique blend of a tour, outdoor puzzle game, and treasure hunt, making it a perfect activity to kickstart your day.

“So Much Fun! - This was so much fun! It took a while to get the game working on the app but once it was it worked brilliantly. It’s a long walk but didn’t seem it. Clever clues that made us think but which were eminently solvable. We learned a lot about Bristol too.” - Reviewed at 2024-04-02
