Bristol science centre We The Curious announces reopening date

Bristol science centre and educational charity We The Curious has announced its long-awaited reopening date.

The visitor attraction in Millennium Square, which has been closed since substantial damage was sustained from a fire back in April 2022, is set to reopen on July 2.

Visitors can expect a day out this summer that’s full of play and surprises, flying through space in the Planetarium, getting inventive in a new programme of ‘impossible’ activities and rediscovering more than 200 eye-opening things to do across the centre’s two floors of interactive exhibits.

Since closing, the We The Curious team have gone out and about in the city, visiting schools, festivals, community centres and more to deliver over 270 free activities reaching more than 37,000 people.

Donna Speed, CEO at We The Curious, said: "We’re so excited to be able to announce our opening date this summer! The support we’ve had from our city has been incredible, so a huge thank you to everyone who’s continued to encourage us throughout the last two years – it really does mean a lot. 

"It’s beyond heart-warming to hear how special We The Curious is to so many and the fondness they hold for it – and also how people who haven’t visited before are itching to experience everything on offer.

"We can’t wait to welcome you back very soon, and see the venue filled with joy and energy again!"

We The Curious reopens its doors on July 2, with an opening celebration event planned for July 6. Tickets will go on sale closer to the time.
