If you are looking for free fun for kids in Bristol this August, then look no further than the list below!

Whether it's storytelling, LEGO, wildlife, nature, art, outdoor play or giants that your kids are into, there's something for everyone.

But first, let me tell you about two free activities for kids in Bristol. There's the Gadgeteers Summer Reading Challenge at all Bristol libraries, a free activity for kids aged 4-11 to encourage them to keep reading over the summer, with fun incentives like stickers along the way, plus a medal and certificate at the end!

There are also 25 life-size bronze lions on the Downs, exhibited by the charity Born Free, which are there to raise awareness and vital funds for lions in the wild.

Enjoy your August!
