Underfall Boatyard

Great to see the Underfall continues to inspire great art work! Congratulations to Paul weaver.

A warm welcome to the yard's Poet in Residence Suzannah V Evans who is completing a PhD placement here until mid-September. Watch this space for news of readings, workshop opportunities and wonderful poetry inspired by the Harbour, the Avon and the sea.

Nearly time for Yard Fest 2019!

To coincide with Harbour Festival 2019, everything is ready for our very own Yard Fest! Join us over the weekend of July 20 - 21 for food, music, fun and the best view of the Harbour in Bristol!

Fancy making your own mini model of an iconic Bristol building? Well now you can! Thanks to WeirdBristol who designed and kindly donated the design, we are now selling these lovely little paper craft Power Houses in the visitor centre with all proceeds going to Underfall Yard Trust.

It was a great to welcome volunteers from across the city for a guided tour as part of Volunteers' Week 2019. Our little way of saying thank you!
If you are a volunteer and would like a tour come along at 11:30 on Friday. Please register at info@underfallyard.co.uk to let us know you are coming.

It is thanks to our dedicated team of volunteer Hydraulic Pump operators that we are able to run our 1907 pumps three times a week. Happy Volunteers's Week to all of them! Find out more at: www.volunteersweek.org

Looking forward to setting this up tomorrow!

All are welcome to join us on Wednesday at 2 pm for a guided walk from Underfall Yard to the Suspension Bridge as part of Bristol Walk Fest 2019. Don't worry: we will take plenty of breaks as we climb! For further details see: https://visitbristol.co.uk/…/underfall- yard-to-clifton-susp…

Both 'sides' of our workshop line shafting turning for the first time in over thirty years. It made for a lot of very happy volunteers! Watch this space for workshop and machinery tours...

We are delighted to be welcoming Joanna back to the Yard with her clay and pottery workshops.

If you would like to see the launch of Bristol's oldest steam tug, Mayflower will be leaving the slip at approximately 9 am tomorrow. Hopefully the ducklings will stay!

We are open today and will be running our 1907 hydraulic pumps at 12:30 and 2:00. The demo lasts about 20 minutes and the good news is that half of it takes place outside! Come along to discover what powered Bristol Harbour for 103 years.

What a lovely day to enjoy a walk around the Harbourside, a bit of History at Underfall Yard, an ice cream from Pickle and the best view in Bristol! If you can't make it down today we are open on Easter Monday as well.

Looking for activities for your little artists this Easter? Puppet Place are running creative puppet making sessions at Underfall Yard, with puppet maker Elizabeth Johnson. Explore the theme of river wildlife in these collaborative, creative sessions for children and families, and take home your very own puppet creature. For more details visit: https://www.facebook.com/pg/puppetplace/e vents/ or to book tickets: http://www.puppetplace.org/whats-on/

Float your boat at Underfall Yard! Children and parents are invited to the Visitor Centre next Tuesday or Thursday anytime between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. to make and launch their own little boats. Please spread the word to anyone you think might like to come along. Fingers crossed for good weather so we can do it outside!
