Ashton Gate to Bristol Airport Transfer

Leaving Ashton Gate Stadium — the 27,000-seat home of Bristol City and Bristol Bears — for a flight from BRS: your BristolRide driver waits at the agreed pickup point on the edge of the event-day closures and drives the 8 miles to the terminal in around 17min, at a fixed price agreed before the day.

Ashton Gate is the 27,000-seat home of Bristol City and Bristol Bears in Bedminster, with summer stadium concerts and Ashton Court next door. Ashton Gate Stadium is 8 miles from Bristol Airport via the A38, A370, in Bristol. An event day changes the maths on every other way of getting there: trains and shuttles run full, the taxi rank at the airport empties, and the roads around the venue close hours before the start. A pre-booked private car is timed backwards from the start, drops you at the closest open point, and — this is the part that matters — comes back for you afterwards at a fixed price, when nothing else will.

The route runs via the A38, A370, around 17min in normal traffic for the real 8 miles. On matchdays and concerts the last mile is the slow part: Matchdays and summer concerts — Ashton Road and Winterstoke Road are closed around the ground from before kick-off until well after; your driver waits at the agreed point outside the cordon. Your driver knows the closures and the agreed pickup point is chosen for it. The fixed price covers the whole journey, whatever the traffic does.
