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.

Walk around the Floating Harbour (don’t forget to visit Brunel’s Buttery for a pitstop), look out across the city from the top of the Cabot Tower, spend the afternoon in We The Curious or at the SS Great Britain, and have dinner in Chai Shai bringing in drinks from the Bag of Nails pub almost next door.
After watching the sun set over the docks, catch a film at the Watershed, and then enjoy some beers at the Grain Barge, and cocktails at Loose Cannon and Hyde & Co.
