The room was big and there is a kitchen, a bar, a dancefloor and a stage for the entertainment. We had plenty of time to decorate and prepare the hall. We supplied our own food, but got them to supply the drinks and prices were really cheap. And even though it was our job to clean up the staff just chipped in and helped! It was a great night for everyone and without them it wouldn't have been have as nice. Thank you very much!

This review only relates to the cafe as we stopped in here for lunch as I heard it was a good place…read moreto go with kids. The cafe is a good size, spacious, good for groups and has a great little play area with toys to keep little ones entertained. The adult menu is pretty simple, breakfasts, sandwiches, burgers, salads and a few other dishes, I had Mac and cheese. The options for kids were great, there is a packed lunch station where for £4.50 you can select 5 items that go in a cardboard box. Or a hot food menu for £5.50 that comes with a drink and yogurt or fruit. My son went for the Mac and cheese too. The food was delicious but both dishes came out lava hot and when you've got a starving child the last thing you want is to have to sit and wait while the food cools down. I also thought the hot kids meals were a little over priced but then it was kind of expected considering this was @bristol. Overall great experience though and I'd recommend this to anyone with kids looking for a good lunch spot in the centre.

This is Bristol's science museum. Kids will enjoy themselves most here, but it is probably one of…read morethose places that wants to be fun for all the family. An engaging day out, and a lot more refreshing than a stuffy art museum. Aiming for that (at least for most teachers) impossible goal of making learning fun, it certainly is a fun day out but I'm not sure if too much is learnt there. The exhibits are all interactive, you can pedal to generate power for a T.V. and lift a four foot diameter globe with a very long lever (this is some sort of reference to the ancient Greek mathematician Archimedes, for those that care). This means almost any kid will enjoy themselves here, and you'll see plenty of ten year olds hurtling between each thing, eager to try out everything. The staff are young and keen, and will earnestly explain the science that each exhibit is meant to teach you about. With lots of glass and primary colours it generally feels fresh, something most museums are nothing like. Go there if you've got curious kids to distract, or if you're just a bit of one yourself.

Bristol Mueseum welcomes you with a biplane hanging from the ceiling of a large foyer area. From…read morehere you can go off to various exhibitions, including a natural history section, a well stocked Egyptian section, and corridors of stuffed animals and works of fine art. Everything you would imagine a muesuem and art gallery to have, then. They did have the Banksy (famous Bristolian graffitti artist) exhibition recently, drawing massive crowds. That was a one-off, unfortunately. It's free, and I think the best way to do the mueseum is in bits and pieces. Come for less than an hour, have a wonder round a couple of the exhibitions and then go and do something a bit less cultured. I might just like doing it this way because I lack attention span, but this way you can escape from the city for a little while and don't start feeling like your forcing yourself to appreciate culture.

It's a fantastic tourist attraction, which was recently in the papers for it's extremely entertaining (despite the four hour wait in the queue) Banksy takeover exhibition. The central location (I walk past it at least 3 times a week) and the absence of entry fee means that you can pop in any time to enjoy the delights of the Museum.

The best way to do this is to sign up for email alerts on their website. I've been twice, once to see Ross Noble which was brilliant and a normal night which I wasn't that impressed with in fact I found the price they were charging for the food and drink a better joke than some of the comedians tried.

Oh I do like a laugh. And where better to go for such shenanigans than to a comedy club. I believe…read moreLee Evan's owns it, but don't quote me on that. The Glee club has been fantastic everytime I've visited. Grade A comedians that cruelly try and split your yours sides do so as you enjoy a lovely dinner (paid separately) and spit your drink out everywhere. There was a host that tried on a punters coat while he was in the toilet, all fine and dandy you would've thought. However the guy who's coat it was went absolutely batty about it and left there and then...Some people clearly don't have a sense of humour, the irony. It is expensive in here though, not alot different if you visited a theatre to be honest. Looking near the £4 a pint mark. Last but now least, after you've wet your self laughing you can attempt to dry yourself off with a boogie as the place turns into a disco for a couple of hours. However, it's generally empty.

Obviously I can't vouch too much for the day to day running now (though it still appears to be run by some of the same people), but from looking at the pictures on the website, it's obvious that the facilities haven't changed a great deal. Outside there's two floodlit concrete courts, one for football and one for other sports (these were built in my day with grant money), plus a grass footie pitch. Inside they cater for the lazier sports, such as table tennis, pool and darts, plus there's a tuck shop and we even had a computer room where you could sit down and play Super Mario while eating bags of Tangy Toms (sorry, I seem to have turned into Peter Kaye!). This place provided some of the defining moments of my childhood due to the excellent facilities and efforts of the volunteer staff. If it's even half as well run now as it was then, it's a great place to send your kids where they can do some exercise and keep out of trouble.

However there are some really neat things to do, so wanted to write a quick review to mention those: 1) look for the post office box near the back of the gift shop - any letter posted there is franked "sent aboard the SS Great Britain" which I thought was a super neat idea 2) you can climb the rigging on the ship! 3) there are guided tours and a behind the scenes tour at specific times during the day 4) the gift shop has cool, fun, quirky items - it was honestly hard for me to walk out without purchasing anything. But I did it and if you visit, you've been warned! 5) just around the corner, a 5 min walk takes you to another Banksy - Girl with pierced ear-drum, so might as well take advantage of the locations!

Is this worth the 14 pounds entry fee? Most definitely! Not just a ship, there's a whole museum…read morething going on too, and they are currently expanding with the renovation of another building on the other side of the ship, which is going to be recreating Brunel's actual drawing office. The ship is hermetically sealed in its dry dock, with a humidity-controlled environment keeping the remaining hull from rusting. This is where you start your tour, and it's nice and toasty down there on a chilly day. You can wander right around the hull down there, seeing the construction of the metal plates and wondering about the huge rip in the side and the crude patch they applied when the ship was brought back from the Falklands. Next, there's the museum part, where the story of the ship is told by various exhibits. Several items of ship furnishings are there, including the main mast boom; and there are several interactive displays to keep the kids amused. It's also fascinating to peruse actual letters from passengers on the ship, which really give you an idea of what life was like on board. Just through the room where you can dress up in Victorian fashion for a photo, there is an animated film that tells the story of how the ship was salvaged and brought back to Bristol. I found this very interesting, although it could have used a few inserts of documentary footage to liven up the animation sequences. Then on to the actual ship itself, where eschewing the offer to climb the rigging, which costs a extra tenner and is done under supervision with a harness and hard hat of course - I was momentarily tempted I confess; we took our audio tour widget and descended into the interior. You get a choice of 4 audio guides, and with each one there are numbers throughout the ship that you dial into the handset to get the appropriate blurb, which was very cool as you can wander where you will and not have to do it in any particular sequence. The interior is fitted out as it was when she was carrying passengers, so you can really get a feel of what it was like, from the 'steerage' areas with stacked bunks right through to the promenade lounge with its faux-marble columns. Definitely a must-see tour item in Bristol. A fascinating bit of history, and I like the way that you can wander around at your own pace and not feel that you are being harried in any way. Full marks.
