We The Curious celebrates reopening with citywide ‘treasure hunt’ for free tickets

By Daniel Garrod  Monday May 20, 2024

Bristol’s biggest science centre and educational charity is establishing a citywide “treasure hunt” ahead of its long-awaited reopening on July 6.

More than two years on from the fire that broke out in solar panels on its roof, We The Curious is working with community partners across Bristol to offer 80 group tickets free of charge.

Each ‘Curiositicket’ grants entry for six people to the much-loved attraction, as well a planetarium show and free travel via First Bus to and from the venue.

The challenge is to find the special silver tokens which have been hidden all over the city for people to find, from community centres and city farms to even being hidden on buses.

Curiositickets can be discovered in these locations on the following dates:

BS16 – Lyde Green Community Centre – May 20
BS7 – Lockleaze Neighbourhood Trust, The Hub – May 21
BS13 – Zion Community Centre – May 22
BS2 – St Werburgh’s Community Centre – May 23
BS8 – University of Bristol – Students’ Union – May 24
BS6 – Ardagh Centre – May 25
BS9 – Westbury Wildlife Park – May 26
BS14 – Hengrove Park Leisure Centre – May 27
BS11 – Avonmouth Community Centre – May 28
BS12 – First Bus network (replacement for non-existent BS12) – May 28
BS4 – Redcatch Community Garden – May 29
BS10 – Greenway Centre – May 30
BS5 – Easton Community Centre – May 31
BS3 – Windmill Hill City Farm – June 1
BS1 – We The Curious – June 4

Bryony Roberts, content director for We The Curious, said: “We’ve created these Curiositickets in the hope that we can provide a little surprise and fun for people in Bristol to get stuck into, as they search for our silver tokens all over the city.

“Being accessible and inclusive is really important to us, so ahead of our reopening we wanted to create a bit of a buzz with an activity that was open to everyone, whether you’re We The Curious fans or have never heard of us before.

“It’s also a great way to say thank you to everyone who supported us during our closure, including our brilliant partners, and those who’ve taken part in our Out and About events.

“It’s really meant a lot, so it feels right to celebrate reopening with our city.

“It’s the perfect way to get curious about your local area, and even explore a new part of Bristol you’ve not been to yet.

“We can’t wait to welcome the Curiositicket winners through our doors in our reopening year!”
