We the Curious city-wide hunt for free tickets continues
The search for 'Curioustickets' is underway as a 'thank you' to locals
Last updated 4th Jun 2024
You might have heard about the ticket hunt for free We the Curious tickets happening across Bristol - well, it has been a number of weeks, and still not all of them have been found in the wild.
The tokens have been 3D printed, and have been dotted around the city ahead of their long-awaited reopening, following a devastating blaze two years ago.
We the Curious is Bristol's biggest science centre and educational charity, and kicked off a city-wide ticket hunt - dubbed 'Curiostickets' - to mark the occasion, with the site officially opening back to the public on July 2nd.
80 tickets have been distributed and hidden in Bristol, in places like community centres and city farms - with some even hidden on buses.
They've called it a 'city wide treasure hunt', with the aim of getting locals 'having fun, exploring and of course getting excited about the reopening in July'.
Each Curiositicket found grants six people free entry to We The Curious, plus a Planetarium show, and free travel via First Bus to and from the venue.
By hiding them all over the city, the science centre hopes to reach people who may not have had a chance to visit the centre before.
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!”
