Getting there

  • Bus from Temple Meads — The Metrobus m2 runs to Ashton Gate in around 15 minutes; frequent on matchdays.
  • Harbour ferry — The best approach — the ferry from the city centre docks at Baltic Wharf, a 15-minute walk from the ground.
  • Park and ride — Long Ashton park and ride off the A370 is signposted and quick to clear after full time.

Safe away spots

  • The Tobacco Factory — North Street, 15 minutes away — relaxed, mixed crowd and good food. Map
  • North Street bars — Southville's main strip is friendly and used to away fans, though it fills fast. Map
  • Ashton Gate fan zone — Outside the ground, open from two hours before kick-off, family-friendly. Map

Off the beaten track

Lower-profile pubs, cafés and corners the locals keep to themselves.

  • The Tobacco Factory, Southville

    Arts venue bar a short walk from Ashton Gate; Sunday market and no matchday crush.

    Open in maps

  • North Street independents

    Bedminster's strip of micro-bars, bakeries and street art — the local alternative to the ground bars.

    Open in maps

  • Ashton Court Estate

    Deer park and mansion grounds up the hill; excellent pre-match walk with city views.

Transport alert

Standard Saturday

Nothing unusual in the Bristol diary for this date. Book advance rail tickets 12 weeks out and check the operator's works page the Monday before.

Ground note

Ashton Gate also hosts Bristol Bears rugby — check for double-header weekends with heavy traffic.

Ground note

The A370 out of the city clogs badly after full time; the ferry or a walk beats the bus.
