What's On In Bristol - Students' Guide (Day Trips away, Zoo, Ferry Tours, Museums, Galleries, Places of Worship)

At our school we have a Social Programme of three activities per week, where one of the teachers will take you to do some kind of activity (musical, sporting, cultural, etc.) and which you can do FREE!

However, you don’t have to wait for us to take you there! One of the best ways of improving your English is to do something that interests you.

Places of Worship

Please let us know where you go to pray, so we can build up a list - Thanks!

The mosque where I go to pray is at the Student Union, on Queens Road, Clifton, Bristol, BS8 1LN. I think it's on the fourth floor. Ahmad Alkhalifa

Part Time Jobs

Some students find jobs after leaving - Isabelle, for example, became a waitress at Las Iguanas!
