PARKING IN SOUTHVILLE/BEDMINSTER

Parking is available on the streets in the immediate vicinity but you are advised to arrive as early as possible.

We suggest you park up early and have a meal in one of the many eating establishments in the neighbourhood before coming to the show.

PARKING IN CLIFTON

The Redgrave Theatre is 5-8 minutes walk from Clifton Village and 12-15 minutes walk from Whiteladies Road. It is probably easier to park on the street close to the theatre than it is to park in the Village. There is no official car park nearby but on-street parking is available after 5pm. College Fields opposite the Redgrave Theatre is probably the best option for parking.

If you are coming from outside the area you are advised to arrive early, go for a drink or a meal in Clifton Village which is 5-8 minutes walk away.

THE BLAKEHAY

 

THE COLSTON HALL

 

THE OLD VIC THEATRE

 

THE BRISTOL IMPROV THEATRE

Parking availability is very limited in the streets immediately around the venue but the council-owned multi-storey West End Car Park is just 7-10 minutes walk away on Berkeley Place between Clifton Triangle and Jacob's Wells Road. Postcode for satnav: BS8 1EH.
