Things to do with kids in Clifton
Clifton gives families a choice between a small village stop and a bigger occasion: browse books on Princess Victoria Street, watch the world move through the Observatory’s Camera Obscura, or choose a puppet story at the Redgrave Theatre. The Giant’s Cave adds a steep, narrow descent for children aged four and over, while youth theatre offers older children a regular creative group. Match the outing to your child’s age and the time you have: the library, cliffside attractions and Percival Road theatre are different destinations, not one admission ticket.
Choose village books, the Observatory’s Camera Obscura and Giant’s Cave, or a family show at the Redgrave Theatre.
