As a busy urban city surrounded by beautiful countryside, Bristol can deliver both adrenalin-fuelled outdoor activities, fabulous food and creative experiences, all with a wonderful, warm West Country welcome.
The Great Outdoors
Bristol is spoilt for choice when it comes to outdoor activities, from climbing to skidpan driving or caving to surfing at The Wave, the inland 180-metre lagoon that offers surf breaks for all abilities. The city has many well-respected agencies able to deliver a fun-filled programme, designed to inspire and enthuse. Learn bushcraft skills and take a ‘Leap of Faith’ on the high ropes at Bristol Zoo Project. Or why not book a team building or fun day with ACF Team building and Events Ltd, who offer an array of outdoor activies and event solutions.
Get Creative
Unique team-building experiences are inspired and can also be delivered by local legends. Channel your inner Banksy in his home town with the Street Art Tour and spray experience offered by Where the Wall and develop graffiti masterpieces in a Graft workshop. Meanwhile Wallace & Gromit creators, Aardman Animations, offer away day experiences including clay-building and animation workshops that provide participants with the opportunity to learn from expert model makers how to make world-famous Aardman characters.
Culture & Tours
The historic Harbourside offers a great range of ferry and boat tours and experiences, including the beautiful Gorge cruise and renowned pub tour. Tours are available throughout the year on ferries, canal boats and the replica of The Matthew, the 15th century ship that sailed from Bristol to discover America. Bristol Insight offers tours on an open-top bus. Choose from a selection of pre-planned trips or talk to the operators about themes. ACF Team Building & Events Ltd offer bespoke packages for all group sizes and offer activities to suit all tastes.
Corporate Hospitality
On the sporting front, Ashton Gate Stadium is the home to Bristol City Football Club and Bristol Rugby. The new 27,000 capacity stadium features state-of-the-art facilities, split-level sports bar and restaurant (housing the largest indoor sports screen in the country), a pitch-facing corporate hospitality lounge and corporate hospitality boxes. At Gloucestershire County Cricket Club, you can combine meetings in the new pavilion with a spot of nets in the sports hall. Watch out for international fixtures and events.
