What you can expect

Discover the creative, rebellious, and outspoken side of Bristol on this interactive walking tour. Learn about the city’s history of piracy, slavery, and protest, and uncover the stories of pirates and privateers, the slave trade, moral hypocrisy, and protest movements.

Hear about Bristol’s most famous modern rebel, Banksy, and see his street art. Enjoy a playful and accessible tour for kids, with sharp satire and uncomfortable truths for adults.

Vote on history: Pirate, Businessman, or Criminal? Engage in moral time-travel: was this acceptable then, and does it matter? Follow the money from ships to streets, compare how countries deal with slave history, and judge pirates, merchants, and protesters by modern standards.
