Learn and discover

There are fantastic learning opportunities for all ages available on both sides of the Avon Gorge.

On the Bristol side of the Avon Gorge and on the Downs, our engagement team runs activities for all ages, from pre-school age plus adult sessions, curriculum-linked school sessions from EYFS to A level, to children’s and family events, playscheme adventures and sessions for uniformed groups. We also offer bespoke programmes and one-off guided walks and talks for community and special interest groups.

Discover our Treeburt family tree trail on Clifton Down and our seasonal Downs family trails!

We offer FREE curriculum-linked school sessions on the Downs to state funded primary schools.

For fee paying schools and secondary education age there is a cost for our sessions. Please contact us for further information.

Find out about our fun and engaging FREE playscheme sessions on the Downs and uniformed group sessions at £5.00 per child.
