May Bank Holiday is the perfect opportunity to take in spectacular views of Newport, the Severn Estuary and valleys from our top walkway and glide majestically across the river in the gondola. Eagle - eyed young visitors (and grown-ups) can also take part in our family trail.
There's also the chance to purchase our new beer, named after the Bridge's designer; 'Arnodin's Ale' !
