Bristol Harbour Festival & Avon Cream Tea Cruise

1 days

DAYBRH

Enjoy a vibrant and memorable day out at the much-loved Bristol Harbour Festival, one of the UK’s largest and most colourful waterside events, with the added treat of a relaxing Avon cream tea cruise.

Held each summer along Bristol’s historic harbourside, the Harbour Festival is a celebration of maritime heritage, live entertainment and community spirit. On arrival, you’ll have free time to explore the festival at your own pace, with something happening around every corner. Tall ships, colourful boats and working vessels line the harbour, while stages host live music, dance performances and street entertainment throughout the day.

Food lovers are spoilt for choice, with a wide selection of street food stalls, local produce and festival favourites available along the waterfront. Craft markets, family-friendly activities and pop-up bars add to the lively atmosphere, making it a fantastic day out for all ages.

A highlight of the day is your included Avon cream tea cruise. Sit back and relax as you glide along the River Avon, enjoying beautiful views of Bristol from the water while indulging in a traditional cream tea. It’s a peaceful and enjoyable contrast to the buzz of the festival and a lovely way to see the city from a different perspective.

After the cruise, there’s more time to soak up the festival atmosphere, explore the harbourside or simply watch the boats and performers from the quayside.

With return coach travel included, this day trip offers a comfortable and easy way to experience one of Bristol’s biggest events. From lively festival scenes to a gentle river cruise with a classic British treat, it’s a perfectly balanced day out filled with colour, culture and relaxation.
