How to get to BS3 Live?
With road closures and temporary parking suspensions, people attending will not be able to drive their car and park near the stadium, instead they will need to take one of the following modes of transport.
Event special shuttle bus running from Portway Park & Ride, Brislington Park & Ride and Bristol Temple Meads (stopping at city centre locations en route) to the stadium with post event buses leaving from Winterstoke Road at the end of the festival. Festival goers will need to pre-book their ticket prior to Saturday’s event as tickets are not sold on the day.
Public buses running in and around the city can always get you to the stadium if you live in Bristol.
Taxis will need to be pre-booked prior to the event and will most likely need to be dropped off ½ a mile down from the stadium due to road closures.
Those coming from outside of Bristol can get a train to Bristol Temple Meads then get a shuttle or second train to Parson Street station.
Or for those wanting to keep it slightly more green then you can walk, cycle or scooter with bike parking in front of the Old Midas building off Winterstoke Road.
