What to do and see in Old City, England: The Best Things to do

May 29, 2021 Florencio Paulino

Bristol is a quirky British city with beautiful hilly vistas and plenty of historic sights to explore. Anyone interested in ships will have a blast aboard Brunel’s SS Great Britain, the world’s first great oceanliner, and the Matthew, a replica of the ship upon which John Cabot sailed to America in the 15th century. The graceful Clifton Suspension Bridge is another must-see.

A lovely church, right in the middle of Bristol's Old City. The vicar and congregants are very friendly, the building is beautiful, the music is superb, and the Prayer Book services are solemn and dignified. Fully recommended – to worshippers and sightseers alike.

Originally booked a masterclass for May, but obviously had to reschedule. Will hosted our cocktail masterclass and was honestly amazing!! We found the class so fascinating. It's not your standard cocktail making class, you don't just go in a shake some drinks. Will taught us the ins and out of how brozen make all their ingredients from scratch and explained the science behind how they make their amazing drinks. The thought behind each brozen cocktail is honestly mind blowing. The 3 brozen dessert cocktails were INSANE. I could eat the coffee one all day everyday. It was so good I want to book the exact same class again ????
