My first ever experience of "Bristol Open Days" event and I loved it! Have admit, was one of those in the rush and forgot to bring my own torch, but phone did a good job too!

Queue seemed like it's not going to end, but staff did a great job and passed everyone through quite quickly. (Worth getting more staff - just to manage the queues better and keep everyone inform-I would say).

Astonishing sound effects and overall walk plan. Don't blame volunteers for not knowing much and bless them for their patience in answering all never-ending-questions.

Would definitely recommend, at least once to visit. A hidden secret and another bit of history of Bristol was discovered by all of us...

Me and my mates were just walking around the area when we saw a cave outta nowhere. We closed near it just to hear the maniacal cackle of a few women and were taken apart. That and the digital alarm-like text above the door and the general griminess of the day led us to believe we had stumbled upon a midday witch convention. We thought it was just a coincidence but the cackling didn't stop. Either way, it wasn't a witch convention and that group of women visiting the current attraction should not be allowed near caves of moaning women turned soundscapes, like this was...

I visited the Radcliffe Caves for a screening of the restored original 1954 Godzilla movie. I'd been curious about the caves for a long time but they're not normally open to the public except for special events. So it was fantastic to not only see the caves (with a guided pre-tour from the knowledgeable event manager) but also to see an amazing film in such an atmospheric and well-suited environment - just imagine how those Godzilla...

A really interesting place to visit. You need to look out for art installations or special events as the caves are not normally open. They go quite a long way into the cliff and are a mixture of small walkways and larger caverns. All of it was mined to get the rock and sand for Bristol’s glass industry. The history is worth exploring.

Had the chance to explore the caves as part of Open Doors and loved it. Staff/helpers were lovely, welcoming and knowledgeable! Bristol Film Festival use the caves for their Horror series, well worth a visit too!
