Here’s my round-up of free and affordable things to do in Bristol this Easter, with the odd treat thrown in for good measure.
The Sensational Sheep Trail takes over the Bristol Shopping Quarter this Easter until Saturday April 15, where there will be 31 fantastically decorated sheep hiding in the shops waiting for kids to discover them. Once you have completed the trail, go along to John Wesley’s New Room in Broadmead to pick up a small prize. The New Room is open Monday to Saturday, 10am – 4pm.
Friday Films at John Wesley’s New Room promises to keep children entertained with a Shaun the Sheep Movie running from 10.30am to 12.30pm. Or round off the trail with a viewing of Shaun the Sheep Farmageddon from 2 until 4pm which costs £4 per child per session and includes popcorn.
