Extra Parking
We’re pleased to announce that further parking has been identified. It’s called Visitor Car Park S1 and is located within walking distance of Aerospace Bristol. From what we can tell, it’s brand new, and can hold approximately 150 cars. It’s just £6 up to 24hrs to park there, and is operated by Sippi, location ID: 112280. There are apps for both Apple devices and Android, available online: Download Sippi
Since the car park is so new, it’s not yet showing on Bing Maps or Google Maps! However, we can assure you it’s there! What’s even more exciting is we think when you park there, you’ll actually be parked on the old Filton runway where Concorde landed and took off many times!
If you’re familiar with what3words then we estimate the entrance to the car park is: ///brick.spirit.round It’s also broadly opposite the Brabazon Park bus stop (see information above).
The car park allows pick-up and drop off, which is free for 30 minutes, with no registration on the app. Vehicles remaining on site after 30min must register a parking session via the app, even if only parking for less than 3 hours (which is FREE).
We’re expecting the car park at Aerospace Bristol to be extremely busy, so we kindly ask our fit and healthy visitors to consider this car park so that others who might appreciate parking closer to the museum due to poor health, can find spaces available. Thank you. 🛩️
