At-Bristol sends Christmas cheer with Free Day!

At-Bristol is sending its warmest season’s greetings with a free entry to Explore, the popular hands-on science centre, for everyone this 15 December. To spread this Christmas cheer, Explore’s iconic Planetarium, which is commonly described as the ‘silver ball’ on Millennium Square, will be wrapped up with a giant red ribbon and bow.

The production of the decorative ribbon that measures 40 metres in length is sponsored in kind by Gala Casino, who will also be sending a team of volunteers to help with the face-painting activity during the open day.

“This is Explore’s Christmas gift to the community and to all visitors to the city! While celebrating the festive period, we hope to send our thanks to the public for their huge support over the years. We are also celebrating an exciting time in Explore, especially with the recent launch of its two brand new major exhibitions, Inside DNA and LoveSport, which marks a major milestone in our achievements.” says Donna Speed, Commercial Director, At-Bristol.

“We hope the public could make full use of this unique opportunity to enjoy themselves with their families and friends while looking forward to Christmas and the New Year. We have a host of exciting activities lined-up for the free entry day - they include face-painting, the ‘Dinosaur Unearthed!’ show as well as the brand new winter night sky show at the Planetarium.” says Donna.

The free entry to Explore is free to everyone on 15 December, doors open from 10am to 6pm.
