Right, 5 star rating for sure here. What a (as the name suggests) treasure!

Firstly, a stunning drive to our destination which always puts you in a good mood (and the baby sat chattering in the back instead of screaming which always helps mummy!) and pulling into a carpark with ample parking which makes us smile was a good start to our day out.

When we entered we were greeted by a lovely lady who ushered us through to the museum part. Entry was £8 each for adults, and boo was free as she is under 6.

She gave us a map and some information before we entered and then we turned around to…Read more Right, 5 star rating for sure here. What a (as the name suggests) treasure!

Firstly, a stunning drive to our destination which always puts you in a good mood (and the baby sat chattering in the back instead of screaming which always helps mummy!) and pulling into a carpark with ample parking which makes us smile was a good start to our day out.

She gave us a map and some information before we entered and then we turned around to the treasure trove within.

This is a place that will throw you back into different era's. There is something for everyone ranging from tractors to toys, from clothing to cigarettes. I particularly enjoyed the old alcohol miniatures and paraphernalia, and hubby enjoyed the toys and electronics.

There is a massive collection of colourful tractor seats in the last room which is beautiful to see. You can spend hours in front of one cabinet here. The women's hygiene/cleaning products were so fun to see, as was the gorgeous wedding dress donated by a lady who wore it in 1955 (or around then)

Collections of many different types of things are on display here (shaving pots, steam engines, tins, signs, tobacco and alcohol stuff, perfume, books etc it just goes on)

There is a café attached which we didn't have time to relax in, but it looked lovely. A very small gift shop which I think they could make bigger and have more items for sale, but we got two very humourous postcards and a magnet to take home.

I am so glad we came here, boo was enthralled the whole time (only problem she wanted to touch it all haha) Would come again as you would see different things every time.

What a huge place! Probably the biggest gym in Bristol at this moment, in terms of ground floor area. It has a studio, a cardio area, free weights section, sauna, aroma therapy, and the list, yes, is literally endless. A news is around the corner, that the Gyn is due of a total revamp with a new state of the art Life Style Machines.
The free weight section is pretty much old school. The red seats will remind of those gyms in the earlier era, when the gyms just had irons, and just irons and benches.
The monthly membership here is pretty much affordable. Only £25 deposit with a monthly…Read more What a huge place! Probably the biggest gym in Bristol at this moment, in terms of ground floor area. It has a studio, a cardio area, free weights section, sauna, aroma therapy, and the list, yes, is literally endless. A news is around the corner, that the Gyn is due of a total revamp with a new state of the art Life Style Machines.
The free weight section is pretty much old school. The red seats will remind of those gyms in the earlier era, when the gyms just had irons, and just irons and benches.
The monthly membership here is pretty much affordable. Only £25 deposit with a monthly fee of £35. Now, this £25 deposit entitles you with a free session with a Personal Trainer and if you shell £35 as deposit, you get two free sessions! The payment is through a direct debit and is deducted in the first of every month.
Now, this £35 might seem to be a bit steep. But, wait! This includes all the classes as well as use of the sauna and the perfume and aroma therapies. You can also get free day passes, like three in a month, with which you can bring in your pals for a free training session.
Well, that's not all. They give you a full refund wishing 14 days of joining, if you decide to discontinue. This sounds like a one if its pioneer services in terms of the gyms in Bristol.
So, what's stopping you? Get into the training groove! And, get, into your desired shape!
