The Bristol Hippodrome is taking part in the Family Arts Festival which is a festival designed to encourage families to enjoy the arts together over October half term. The festival is all about getting families involved in the arts rather than the child enjoying the activity and the parent watching from the side. Packages include a circus or magic workshop and tickets to Slava’s Snow Show at The Hippodrome.
