Get set for summer this bank holiday with Explore-At-Bristol

Bank holiday events Saturday 3 to Monday 5 May

It’s May bank holiday and summer is just around the corner, so hop, skip and jump over to Explore-At-Bristol to get sporty and into shape for the warm months to come.

Over the whole weekend from 10am to 5pm, all manner of sporty shenanigans will be taking place with Explore’s special bank holiday Sports day events. You can guarantee our brain and body will get a thorough work out while you find out how your muscles work, see balls fly and find out just how speedy you are.

Once you’ve gone through your paces, prepare for a nail biting second round in the LoveSport exhibition while you find out the science behind sporting excellence. You can steel your nerves for a penalty shoot out, test your coordination with a slam-dunking basketball challenge or race against the clock for your fastest ever sprint time.

With all that science whizzing around in your head, you really shouldn’t miss the Fizz, whizz, bang show. Find out about all manner of fascinating chemical reactions from alchemy right through to a very scientific game of glue tennis all interspersed with plenty of bubbling potions and shocking explosions.

If that’s not enough, then a trip around Inside DNA will give you the low down on the very latest in genetic research or you could even reach for the stars and travel through space in Explore’s very own planetarium.

Explore-At-Bristol is open all weekend from 10am until 6pm. All the bank holiday activities are free with an admission ticket. Call 0845 345 1235 to find out more.
