Grab a drink at Bungalows & Bears. It is a retro-chic bar with a great atmosphere, just a short walk from the museum entrance. The lights are on and the vibe is relaxed before the evening rush.

Visit the Turner Museum of Glass. You have time to see the collection of 19th- and 20th-century pieces, including the famous glass wedding dress. The museum is free and open until 16:00, so you will finish your visit just as the light begins to change.

Walk west to Weston Park. It is a grand 5-hectare park with mature trees and flower beds. You have a few minutes to find a spot on the grass or near the water features before the sun sets.
16:17
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the SW, casting a golden glow over the park and the city skyline. This is the key moment of the afternoon.

End the evening back at Bungalows & Bears. The pub is open until 21:00 on weekdays, giving you plenty of time to stay, chat, and enjoy the retro atmosphere after the walk.
Local tip
The walk from the museum to the park is short and straightforward. If you want to extend your stay, the park has a bandstand and war memorial to explore.
