During our open days we are only able to show visitors around the 'Top Station' part of the complex but our guides will give all visitors information about the whole site including the wartime air raid shelters and the BBC section.

Highlights of Official Launch

21st & 22nd May 2005

The official Opening was a tremendous success, with over 3,500 visiting the project over the two days.

Held in conjunction with the Bristol Harbour Transport Weekend, the launch raised money
to help move the project to the next stage.  Our thanks go to everyone involved in the day.
