cheap parking near at-bristol?

Hi,
My family is going to at-bristol tomorrow. We live near southampton and don't really know bristol very well.

The car park (Millennium Square Car Park) near "at-bristol" is quite expensive, 4 hours £6.00.

Does anyone know a cheaper one not too far away?

Many Thanks

    4 hours is £8.30 in the NCP @ Broadmead & £4.50 @ Cabot Circus, so TBH £6 is pretty average.

    The great thing about the @Bristol car park, is its a very safe car park and right underneath Millennium Sq , and its well sign posted to find.

    If you park in town , you will spend any ££ you save walking back and forward to @Bristol.

    If you do want to save a £1 then the west end multi story on Clifton Triangle is £5

    Sorry to jump on the thread, i need some parking close to st stevens street, got an interview at the job centre, it doesnt have to be close as i dont mind waking if need be, must also be easy to find, ill be coming off the m32 into bristol


    cabot circus seems easy to find coming off the m32 so i might park there and obviously pay,
    thanks

    Its St Stephens St , Cabot will be the easiest to park in from the M32 and then the easiest to get back out, Broadmead car park is closer , but you will have to get there through a more complicated route.

    For @ Bristol, you could also park at Trenchard Street car park - slightly cheaper than Millennium, but is a lot more difficult to get to if you don't know the area.
