LoveSport Exhibition

Get sporty with At-Bristol - calling all Schools, Clubs and family and friends!

Sport England has teamed up with South West tourist attraction, At-Bristol, to offer fantastic group discounts on entry to its interactive LoveSport exhibition. More than 18,000 people from across the South West have visited the exhibition so far, which is running throughout the summer to coincide with the Beijing Olympics.

For group bookings of 10 or more people, At-Bristol is offering special entry prices from just £3.95 for children and £6 for adults – that’s a 50p discount on the normal ticket entry price! Or for advanced booking and production of the promotional voucher we can offer £1.50 off family entry or 50p off per person.

Supported and funded by Sport England and the Millennium Commission, LoveSport aims to educate the widest possible audience on the fun, challenge, and science of sport. The interactive exhibition is full of fun and challenging activities, from tag and the Tour de France, to penalty shoot-outs, basketball, and the Paralympics.

As well as learning about the science of sport, budding young athletes have the chance to test their coordination and reactions and learn what it takes to be a record-breaking competitor.

Jim Clarke, regional director Sport England south west comments: “The LoveSport exhibition really is a great way to educate and encourage the community to get involved, get active, and really experience what sport has to offer.

“It demonstrates all of the aspects that sport should be: accessible, fun, healthy, and most of all – enjoyable for everyone,” he said.

To complement a visit to the LoveSport exhibition, At-Bristol is hosting a range of great activities over the next few months:
