M Shed: The Heart of Bristol's Maritime Heritage

Getting There

• Car

  If you are driving from Gloucestershire, take the M5 motorway towards Bristol. Exit the M5 at Junction 15 and merge onto the M4 motorway towards London. Continue on the M4 for approximately 6 miles, then take Junction 19 to merge onto the M32 towards Bristol. Follow the M32 until it ends and merges into the A4032. Continue on the A4032, following signs for the city center. Once you reach Bristol city center, follow signs for the Harbourside. You will need to find parking nearby, as M Shed does not have its own parking. Parking options include the NCP car park on Wapping Road, which charges approximately £2.50 for 1 hour.

• Public Transport

  To reach M Shed via public transport, you can take a train from any station in Gloucestershire to Bristol Temple Meads station. The train journey typically takes around 30-50 minutes depending on your starting point. Once you arrive at Bristol Temple Meads, exit the station and walk towards the bus stop located outside the station. Take the bus number 8 or 9 towards the city center and get off at the 'Bristol, Temple Meads' stop. From there, it’s about a 15-minute walk to M Shed. You will walk along the waterfront, following the signs for the Harbourside. The bus fare costs approximately £2.20 for a single journey.

• Taxi

  If you prefer a more direct route, consider taking a taxi from your location in Gloucestershire to M Shed. The taxi fare will vary depending on your exact starting point but expect it to be around £30-£50 for the journey. Ensure you provide the driver with the exact address: Princes Wharf, Wapping Rd, Bristol BS1 4RN. This is the easiest option if you are traveling with luggage or wish to avoid public transport.
