How to get here

From Bristol Airport

Arriving into Bristol Airport you can take the Airport Flyer A1 bus – timetables at http://bit.ly/1PoojmJ which will take you to Bristol Bus Station. Walk (10 mins) or take a taxi to Watershed – a suggested walking route is on the map above.
You can also stay onboard the bus and ask the driver to drop you at Colston Avenue, 200m across the City Centre from Watershed.

OR just order a cab straight to the City Centre/Watershed. At Bristol airport the taxis are managed by one company (Arrow Cars). Taxis are conveniently located outside the terminal building, simply visit the booking office, where you will be quoted the fixed fare to your destination and you will be allocated a vehicle.

The booking office is located outside the airport terminal at the arrivals end of the building and is open 24/7. At the counter in the office let the attendant know your destination – either post code BS1 5TX or tell them you are going to Watershed/Harbourside on the City Centre. Pay in advance and take the ticket and cab number to the dispatch rank.

For advance booking and pick up you can also use Checker Cars.
