One of Bristol's biggest visitor attractions won't now open until next year following a huge fire on the roof back in April.
We The Curious has announced that it won't be reopening until January 2023 at the earliest, because of the 'extensive water damage' which has got into the building's heating and cooling systems. The science and discovery centre said it would be going out and visiting the rest of the city and taking 'the We The Curious experience' to every postcode in Bristol while the museum remains closed.
The fire, on Saturday April 9, was caused by birds damaging the wiring for the solar panels on the roof of the building in Millennium Square. The blaze sent a plume of smoke high into the sky over Bristol, prompted an evacuation of a large area around the harbourside and even scuppered one couple's wedding plans - who were about to get hitched in the venue.
