Travelling By Road

From M5 (South), exit at Junction 18, follow signs A4 (Portway) towards the city centre. Shortly after veering right at a roundabout on to Anchor Road, and just before you reach the venue, turn right on to Canon’s Way. Follow the road round to the left and then straight on into the Millennium Square car park.

From M5 (North) or M4, follow the M32 direct to the city centre. Then follow signs A4 (Avonmouth) until you reach the venue. Canon’s Way for the Hotel Ibis and Millennium Square car park is a turning on the left just after At-Bristol.

Parking

There is no public parking at At-Bristol or the Hotel Ibis, but the nearest public car park is only a few minutes walk away at Millennium Square (BS1 5LL). This is an underground car park and not the above ground multi-storey car park that you will pass as you approach your destination. Standard rate is £10 for 8 hours. http://www.at-bristol.org.uk/Open/carpark.htm.

The Hotel Ibis also uses the Millennium Square car park. There is a preferential 24-hour parking rate (£11). After parking as normal, take your ticket to reception for validation.

When you leave the car park on foot and arrive back at ground level, the Hotel Ibis is in the north-west corner of Millennium Square (across the service road from the planetarium). At-Bristol runs along the northern side of Millennium Square, with its entrance round to the right.

Travel to At-Bristol

At-Bristol is on the main A4 (Anchor Road, BS1 5DB) and is signposted once you are near the city centre. Details of bus services, river ferries, local directions and maps of the surrounding area can all be found at http://www.at-bristol.org.uk/gettinghere.html. A taxi should cost about £20 from the airport and about £7 from Temple Meads railway station.
