By Train – This has confused a couple of people so I’ll just clear up some misconceptions. The venue being called ‘The Station’ is because it use to be an old fire station and isn’t a part of the train station. Temple Meads is about a 20 – 30 minute walk to the venue. Bus stops are about a 5 minute walk away and can get you close to the venue in 2 to 3 stops. Buses to look out for are the No 1, 2 or 8.
