We The Curious to be closed 'for a few months' after birds cause huge blaze

One of Bristol's leading visitor attractions has said it expects to be 'closed for months' following a fire which badly damaged the roof.

And bosses at We The Curious, the interactive science and technology attraction near the Harbourside, said investigations have concluded the blaze was started by birds who damaged the solar panels on the roof, sparking an electrical fault that set the panels, and then the roof, on fire.

The fire happened on Saturday, April 9, and all staff, visitors and even a wedding party that were gathering for a ceremony there, were evacuated safely.
