Get ready to go cracking on a city-wide adventure as the much-loved Gromit Unleashed trail returns to Bristol this summer! From now through September, over 60 giant sculptures of Gromit, Wallace, and Feathers McGraw—each uniquely designed by artists, celebrities, and local talents—are popping up in parks, shops, and landmarks across the city.
00:01So as ever, there is loads to do in the city of Bristol and with the summer months, it is amping up in and around the city.
00:09So let's start by looking at Bristol Zoo Trail, which is a very exciting experience.
00:15Tell us more. What can we expect? What is going on this summer at the zoo?
00:19Well, until the 2nd of November, Bristolians will be able to take part in a new exciting trail at Bristol Zoo Project,
00:26which is called Andy's Adventures Explorer Trail.
00:28The trail is inspired by the popular CBeebies series Andy's Adventures,
00:34and it will give families the opportunity to find Andy's backpack, gizmo and hat in the Explorer Cabin,
00:40discover how to track animals and learn how to identify them from investigating their poo.
00:46They will also be able to step into Andy's shoes, shrink down like Andy and pretend to go back in time with the famous museum clock as part of the trail.
00:55Oh, that's very exciting. So let us move on from the Bristol Zoo to another iconic attraction in the city,
01:03the SS Great Britain, which is gearing up for their summer series.
01:07What can we expect? What is going on this summer at the SS Great Britain?
01:11Well, the venue will be celebrating the summer, the Victorian way, with giant games and deck chairs, magic shows, face painting and a new family trail,
01:23where you can see, hear, smell what life was like on the ship.
01:27And Mr Brunel will also be sharing his stories and secrets from the ship's past.
01:31And guests for the first time will be invited to bring along their own picnic to enjoy on the weather deck with views across Bristol Harborside.
01:40Oh, that will be a lovely one. And it's nice to see that this attraction is still going and many people still want to visit it and support it.
01:50So let's move on, but stick with the nautical theme to Bristol's aquarium.
01:55What are they doing this summer? Have they got anything going on for those looking to visit?
02:00Well, for this summer, visitors are invited to explore the wonders of the world without leaving Bristol at the Bristol Aquarium.
02:08The visitors will be given a passport to the planet at the front desk before they embark on an exciting educational adventure.
02:16Ah, that is a very exciting one and another attraction a lot of Bristolians really enjoy visiting.
02:23So let's finish then on one of the most exciting things that's going on in the city.
02:28But all the Grommets and Grommet Unleashed characters are painting the city at the moment, and it's all for a very important charity.
02:37What can we expect this year?
02:40Well, the long-awaited Grommet Unleashed is finally around the city, with over 50 sculptures scattered across Bristol and beyond.
02:48Expect the iconic duo, Wallace and Grommets, Norbot, which is the nearest member of the cast, the infamous Feather McGraw.
