The city's parks and outdoor spaces host brilliant family days throughout the warmer months — fairs, fetes, circus performances, wildlife days and picnic events make summer in Bristol a genuinely special time for families. Indoor events keep the programme going through autumn and winter with craft workshops, pantomimes, and immersive festive experiences.
