It’s the time of year when we can no longer kid ourselves that it’s still summer, and the days are getting noticeably shorter and chillier. However, autumn has plenty of charms to offer, particularly at our clay pigeon shooting venue in Bristol. It’s the perfect motivation to stay active and get outdoors for a fun group-based outing, no matter what the weather.  

The shared challenge of learning a new skill is a great way to help a new team to bond, offering a level playing field for all, regardless of seniority or job title. It is also a popular stag or hen do event, providing a chance for friendly competition and plenty of bragging rights in the pub later on. 

If you are looking for another entertaining activity to keep the group busy in Bristol this autumn, here are a few top suggestions. 

FEAR at Avon Valley Scream Park

Whatever your feelings about the Scare Season, it’s a great excuse for a fun night out. If you prefer your frightful fun to be organised, then you will love the FEAR event at Avon Scream Valley Park. You’ll find award-winning mazes, meet the Witch of Wookey Hole, and explore the ghostly occupants of the ship SS Great Britain, the vessel designed by Brunell. 

Go on a ghost tour

Who doesn’t love a good ghost story? Book a ghost tour of Bristol for some satisfyingly spine-chilling moments as you are guided through the city’s most haunted spots. Dr Lynch and his suitably attired associates will bring the spookiest tales to life with theatrics as you visit 17 different haunted locations across the Medieval part of the city.

The tours run nightly from 7.30pm and claim to be family-friendly, but be prepared to encounter some very unvarnished versions of history. 

Attend a candlelight concert

What could be more autumnal and romantic than attending a candlelight concert? If you are looking for a memorable way to round off a stag or hen weekend that doesn’t involve crazy drunken shenanigans, then this could be the event for you! 

Throughout October, a string quartet will be performing the classic hits from artists such as Coldplay and ABBA, lit up by the enchanting glow of hundreds of candles. The concerts will be taking place nightly from late October onwards at various venues around the city so be sure to book your tickets now!
