Taster Sessions are an opportunity for beginners to try paddling for the first time with an experienced paddler/coach or for club members to meet and enjoy time on the water together. It's a good way to meet other members of the club. It is a gentle paddle on the River Avon in kayaks and canoes and is suitable for adults and children over 8 and most abilities. Please do contact us if you want to check if it will be OK for you. We ask that if you have a child paddling with us you stay at the sailing club or nearby in case your child wants to finish early or gets cold. We meet at 6.30pm at the Bristol Avon Sailing Club, get everyone sorted with boats and kit and then get you on the water. We paddle either upstream or downstream depending on conditions. There is no charge for parking. There are changing facilities, toilets and showers (male and female) so bring a towel. We aim to be off the water by 8.30pm. After the paddle some of us head to the nearby pub for a drink and cheesy chips. You'd be very welcome to join us. What do I need to bring? You need to bring water, a snack and a spare set of dry clothes. We recommend wearing shorts or leggings - not jeans! A warm layer like a fleece is a good idea for cooler days. Avoid cotton t-shirts and bottoms. If you have one - a wet-suit is great. If windy you might want to wear a cagoule. You will need to wear something on your feet - wet suit boots/beach shoes or trainers you don't mind getting wet are ideal. Kit If you require kit - boat, paddle, spraydeck, helmet and buoyancy aid then we can provide it for you. We ask that all paddlers wear a helmet for their own safety. Places are limited so please book early to avoid disappointment. We look forward to paddling with you. Thank you To the volunteers from NACC who make Taster Sessions possible.

The Clifton Suspension Bridge offers breathtaking panoramic views of Bristol and the Avon Gorge. Designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, this architectural masterpiece is a must-visit. Walking across, you feel the history and grandeur. Perfect for photography and a serene stroll. Highly recommended!

Loved every aspect of this museum. Firstly, it doesn&#39;t feel like just one museum. There is an actual SS Great Britain exhibition, with so much to learn about the ship, before even stepping foot on it.&nbsp;
