Discover the stories of CLIFTON SUSPENSION BRIDGE AND THOSE THAT MADE
IT HAPPEN IN OUR VISITOR CENTREAfter a second closure due to Covid-19,
we are reopening in line with Government guidelines and looking
forward to seeing you.
Take a trip into the past and learn about the competition that sparked
Brunel's career, the 33 year journey of the Bridge being completed and
the memories of those who use and love the Bridge today.
We will be carefully managing visitor numbers and tickets are limited,
so we are asking visitors to the Visitor Centre to pre-book in advance
(if capacity permits, we will allow entry without a pre-booked ticket,
but cannot guarantee entry). The Bridge is always open and free of
charge to pedestrians and you do not have to book to cross it.
We're aiming to make things feel as close to normal as possible, but
the safety of our VISITORS, staff and volunteers is our main concern.
We are reopening the VISITOR CENTRE IN A LIMITED, safe and socially
distanced way. Our permanent exhibition, and shop are both reopen from
Friday 21 May 2021, and will be open from Friday- Monday each week.
The opening hours are 10am-1pm and 2pm - 5pm. IF BOOKING THE 12.30PM
OR 4.30PM TICKETS, PLEASE ARRIVE AT THE START OF THE ENTRY TIME TO
AVOID YOUR VISIT BEING CUT SHORT DUE TO CLOSING TIMES.
We've implemented some new measures to offer the safest, most
enjoyable experience possible:
* Reduced building capacity in line with the latest government
guidance and sector advice.
* Enhanced cleaning schedules and installation of hand sanitisers at
key points. PLEASE NOTE THE VISITOR CENTRE WILL BE CLOSED FROM 1PM-2PM
DAILY FOR CLEANING. PLEASE BEAR THIS IN MIND WHEN BOOKING YOUR TIMED
ENTRY.
* One way system with social distancing markers
* Protective screens on the reception desk and shop counter and PPE
for staff
* Training in physical distancing and hygiene protocols for our team.
We have qualified for the 'We're Good To Go!' mark from Visit England
to verify that we've met government and industry Covid-19 guidelines.
When you visit please:
* plan your journey and arrive at your booked entry time.
* Have your e-ticket or paper ticket ready for inspection.
* Bring a face covering with you, you'll need this throughout the
exhibition (unless exempt).
* Make use of our hand sanitiser stations throughout your visit and
follow the one way system.
* Keep 2 metres distance from other visitors who are not in your
group.
* Use the stairs if you are able.
* Bring a contactless payment method for shop purchases or donations.
To ensure staff and VISITOR SAFETY, if you have a fever, cough,
shortness of breath or display any of the symptoms associated with
Covid-19, please do not attend. We will be happy to rearrange your
ticket, please contact us at visitinfo@cliftonbridge.org.uk to change

We are really looking forward to welcoming you back into our building.
With an unprecedented investment through the Culture Recovery Fund,
the government is #HereForCulture so it can weather the storm of
coronavirus and come back stronger. And we are #HereForCulture too,
thanks to this funding we are able to re-open with free tickets for
entry.
We still need your support for our future and by making a donation,
you’ll be helping us to get back on our feet and share the story of
the bridge for years to come. You can add a donation when you pre book
your tickets, or at one of our contactless donation points when you
visit the Visitor Centre.
