We’re a two-time winner of Marsh Volunteers for Museum Learning Award and offer a variety of bookable tours, workshops, outreach activities and online sessions covering a range of curriculum topics. In all our sessions we explore 150 years of the iconic Clifton Suspension Bridge, from how it was built to how it is looked after today.
If you can’t come to us, please get in touch to discuss our outreach options.
Our tours provide the opportunity to explore the bridge and its history with one of our knowledgeable guides and each tour lasts approx 45 minutes. Our workshops offer a deeper engagement with the bridge, combining a tour with a hands-on session in the Visitor Centre to make a 2 hour visit.
