R.I.P Tide
29th October at 6pm
The ship has sunk… but the crew never left.
As darkness falls on Bristol Aquarium, the ghosts of a doomed crew return to the wreckage of their ship, condemned to wander its corridors night after night. They are searching for someone…
Long ago, a woman was discovered hiding aboard their vessel. A stowaway. The crew believed her presence brought bad luck and soon after, the ship sank beneath the waves, taking everyone on board with it.
Now their restless spirits are trapped aboard what they believe is still their ship. And they are convinced the stowaway is here somewhere…
Step aboard the ghost ship and make your way through Bristol Aquarium after dark, where the ghosts of the crew are waiting. Wander through dark corridors amongst the aquarium fish with plenty of jump scares as you search for the stowaway hiding somewhere aboard the wreck.
When: The Ghost Ship docks at 6PM | Last entry 8PM | Event ends at 9PM
