Google Maps
Please, check that you get the right directions. Google Maps provides the correct directions to the venue if you set your directions to “Luke Jerram’s Palm Temple” (as in the Google Maps link above). However, if directions are set to the School of Chemistry, then Google Maps will send you to the back of the building instead of the main entry in Cantock’s Close.
Travel By Car
There is no parking available on the main campus. We suggest finding a parking spot elsewhere in Bristol. The nearest long-stay parking to the venue can be found at Trenchard Street Car Park. There are other nearby parking facilities at NCP Rupert Street, NCP Nelson Street, and the Galleries.
Travel By Train
The nearest train station is Bristol Temple Meads. You can buy tickets at train stations, or online at Trainline or National Rail. It is a 25 min walk to the venue from Bristol Temple Meads. There is also a taxi rank directly outside of the station and various local buses.
Travel By Air
Bristol Airport is approximately 13 kilometers from Bristol City Centre. The Airport Flyer Express bus runs approximately every ten minutes at peak times between the airport and Bristol Bus and Coach Station near the University campus. Arrow Cars offer taxis from Bristol Airport. The taxi stand is directly outside the arrivals terminal. You can book the taxi in advance. The fare should be around £32 to £45 to central Bristol.
