What's New

HEAVEN

Last year’s Heaven area is back, providing an area away from the bustle of the main arena.  This haven of tranquillity and calm promises to offer a world of interactive entertainment that will stretch the imagination and set creative juices flowing, here are some of the activities you can expect…

Bristol Zoo
This is a unique opportunity to experience and interact at close hand with a selection of Bristol Zoo’s exotic animals such as snakes, bearded dragons and tarantulas. Experienced volunteers will be available to provide an insight into the lives of these exciting animals. A touch table will allow people to get hands on with a wide selection of biofacts and learn more about the conservation of endangered species.

ATBristol
Join At-Bristol for a feast of science fun at the fiesta. Baffle your brain and trick your senses in the ‘Brain and Body Show’, get interactive with science busking activities and discover the science behind the hands-on exhibits.

Mosaic Madness
Be part of building a magical labyrinth using eye-catching flags made out of colourful recycled materials. Or get creative and have fun making your own fantastic foam picture frames to take home. Welcoming all ages and creative abilities! www.mosaic-madness.co.uk

Gorillas
Watch out for the wild roaming gorillas! But look closely if you dare to realise that they haven’t just escaped from a Zoo but these are in fact fascinating characters that look and behave just like mountain gorillas in their natural wild habitat.  Not just an interactive performance, but the actors also impart valuable insight into the mountain gorilla’s habitat and do’s and don’ts when in their vicinity.  

Hum Drum Strum
Ever tapped along to a great rhythm and fancied being a participant rather than a spectator? Community drum circles allow anyone, of any age, with any level of musical experience, to gather in a group and make music together. Relax, de-stress, have plenty of fun, brought to you by HumDrumStrum.

Shirely Jones Clay Making
A relaxing and expressive workshop of clay figure making. Now in its third year an army of 10,000 clay figures, faces and fantasies to date, the ‘Daemon or Doppelganger’ project continues to astonish and delight. So come along to get your hands dirty and surprise yourself with how creative you can be.
