My Bristol Favourites: Natalie Fey
By Martin Booth, Saturday May 1, 2021
As interpretation manager at the SS Great Britain, Natalie Fey’s unusual role includes the creation of immersive elements such as smells, sounds and dockyard dressings.
These create the authentic and historic Victorian interiors that help transport visitors to the SS Great Britain back in time.
Some of Natalie’s recent tasks have included installing the smell of vomit in the cabin of a sea-sick passenger and, for Halloween, creating the body of a passenger who died on board.

An “alien” 79-metre Bristol Arc viewing pod at We The Curious has been approved unanimously by councillors against officers’ advice to refuse.
All eight members of the city council’s development control committee voted last night (Thursday, April 15) to grant permission for the controversial moving observation capsule despite objections from Historic England that it would ruin views of the cathedral.

A 79-metre viewing pod at We The Curious has been approved unanimously by councillors against officers’ advice to refuse.
All eight members of the city council’s development control committee voted on Thursday, April 15 to grant permission for the controversial moving observation Arc despite objections from Historic England that it would ruin views of the cathedral.
The unique tourist attraction will take up to 42 passengers on a 20-minute “flight” up to 67 metres above Bristol via a pivot moored in Anchor Square, although the top of the structure will be 12 metres higher than the cabin itself.
A dedicated volunteer with Rush Tidy Towns has been named Volunteer of the Year 2020 and presented with a specially commissioned plaque which embodies the true spirit of Tidy Towns.
Carl Jones from Kilbush Lane has been cleaning Rush South Beach the past 15 years, and his tireless efforts have not gone unnoticed by the Rush Tidy Towns committee.
Brendan O Reilly chairperson with Rush Tidy Towns, explains why Carl was singled out for the award: Carl is out every single day on his walks as a litter picker, he picks the beaches, the South Beach, just anywhere he walks around the town he s picking and he doesn t want any glory for it. He epitomises pride of place, it s as simple as that. His actions basically match his words, so he doesn t just talk about oh, the place is a mess or oh, we have to tidy the beach up , he just gets on and he does it.
