We’re so excited that the Women’s Rugby World Cup is making it’s home in Bristol for four games! If you’re visiting Bristol for the first time, or have been before, there’s always something to do at the Clifton Suspension Bridge.
Visit our free museum, which is open daily 10:00am-5:00pm, or book one of our award-winning Hard Hat Tours, to explore the bridge’s underground vaults, only re-discovered in 2002.
Underground Tour Restrictions:
Please ensure that all ticket-holders are aware of the following restrictions. For safety reasons, we may not be able to allow you access to the Vaults if you have not complied with the following:
- All attendees must be 7+ and 12+ respectively. Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult.
- Minimum height limit of 1.2m.
- Shoes with good grip, such as hiking boots or trainers, are required. You will not be allowed to join the tour in heels or open-toed shoes.
- This tour includes climbing a vertical ladder and passing through a low corridor. Please ensure that you are physically capable of doing so.
- All cameras, phones, and devices must be able to fit in your pocket or bag so that you have two hands free to climb the ladder.
- Only small bags worn over both shoulders or bags with cross-body straps are permitted. Everything else can be stored in the Museum during your tour.
- Please wear weather-appropriate clothing as tours will go ahead even in poor weather and ensure that cameras or mobile phones are protected from the calcite saturated water which may fall from the ceiling.
- Although we will do our best to accomodate late arrivals, this may not always be possible due to the nature of the tour.
