Welcome football fans!
Take your matchday experience at Ashton Gate into extra time by making a weekend of it at Somerset’s favourite seaside resort Weston-super-Mare.
Lying just over 20 miles south of Ashton Gate, or around half an hour by train from Bristol Temple Meads, Weston is the ideal stop-over for fans wanting to stretch out the weekend.
There is a large choice of hotels and bed and breakfasts to suit all pockets. And, with plenty of pubs and clubs it’s a winner with visiting fans as well as followers of The Robins.
With its long sandy beach, famous pier and arcades it scores with families. The town is also gathering a reputation for its sporting events. It played host to the British Water Ski Racing Championship this year while the famous Beach Race – described as the biggest, baddest and maddest motorcycle event in the UK where riders race over steep hills crafted out of the sand – rolls into town on the weekend of October 18-20.
In addition to its sporting spectaculars, the town also hosts a number of free events throughout the year including the air festival which attracted 200,000 people in June…. that’s more than twice the capacity of Wembley Stadium.
We're also the ideal base for staying and exploring the wider North Somerset area; beautiful beaches, spectacular English countryside and picturesque towns and villages all await your visit.
Enjoy the game, have a great evening and if you want to learn more about Weston-super-Mare has to offer, feel free to bookmark and browse more of our website at your leisure, alternatively give us a follow on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, find us @VisitWeston.
