Things to do with kids in Bishopston
Bishopston’s Gloucester Road makes a compact indoor family outing: choose books and stories at Bishopston Library, or settle around a board game at Chance & Counters with staff to explain the rules. School holidays bring a different pace at Fun Science’s scout-hut clubs on St Bartholomew’s Road, where children try hands-on experiments. A short library visit, a shared café game and a full childcare day suit different ages and plans, so start with the activity rather than trying to combine everything.
Choose library stories, a shared board game on Gloucester Road or a hands-on science holiday-club day in Bishopston.
