Things to See and Do

Ensure that you walk through the Arcade and visit the Bristol Blue Glass outlet for a souvenir of the city.

Next to the Arcade, is John Wesley's Chapel - the oldest Methodist Chapel in the world. John Wesley built the chapel in 1739 when he started preaching outdoors to the poor of Bristol. It can be seen today just as it was in the 18th Century.
