SS Great Britain

Probably the best option - but Bristol Museum is also pretty decent for a kid of that age. Big on the stuffed animals and skeletons.

And free.

Weather forecast not looking good. Could be more than drizzle in Brizzle.

Plenty of parking in the city, 25>30 minutes walk to the ground (I'll probably park at The Thekla or Portwall and walk from there)

There's a P&R towards the airport on the A370 that would be less of a walk but I don't know if they allow non-riders to park.

Free parking in the Brunel Lock area but some locations have time restrictions, even on a weekend.

SSGB would be a good spot but since its a Bank Hol w/e, that might be a bit busy.


There's the normal schools and businesses around the ground but I don't know which if any do matchday parking.


NB - The Bedminster Cricket Club website is saying that they are NOT doing parking this weekend http://bedminstercc.co.uk/

Appreciate the advice. A lot may depend on how long we've got. I'm kind of dreading the M5 tomorrow already. Bank holiday weekend, roadworks, bad weather = long delays likely!

The M5 Worcester/Droitwich roadworks mean that I'm leaving around an hour or early for every home game

Might be worth considering coming down via Evesham is the M5 is looking jammed up in the roadworks

Still searching for a ticket. My closet game all season (1.5 Hours!) so very frustrating not to get in. I will probably go anyway and try and pick up a ticket
before kick off.  UTV

Stuffed Skeletons sound like a cool idea.

Cheers for these tips. Am staying with friends in Redland tonight but need to get back to London pronto after the game so cant just leave the car at theirs.

Someone on H&V has just offered me a ticket. Great news that I will now make the game!
