Food and drink

The UWE Hospitality Team will be running a café, throughout the event, offering coffee, tea and cakes, along with hot and cold lunches, in the on-site Café.

There is plenty of seating available in both the café and two overflow areas, as well as the bright, central Atrium, providing a relaxed and sociable space!

A barbecue will also be available, outside.

The Big Flock takes place in a prime location, just off the M32 and within walking distance of Bristol Parkway Train Station.

 UWE have a web page dedicated to information regarding public transport, including to the Frenchay campus, where the Exhibition and Conference Centre is located:

This includes links to services run by Travelwest and First Bus.

First Bus app includes a journey planner and offers live bus times so you can check when your bus is due in real time.

Download the Travelwest bus checker app for live and scheduled bus times for every bus in the Bristol area. Free for iPhone, Android and Windows mobile devices.

Details of all timetables and routes can be found on the TravelWest journey planner.

Long distance coaches and coaches from London airports: Megabus and National Express provide a very cost-effective service direct to Frenchay Campus from many UK cities and some overseas destinations including London, Cardiff, Birmingham, Exeter, Manchester and Leeds.

There is car parking on site for 200+ spaces. Aiming to be as eco-friendly as possible, we would encourage car-sharing or the use of public transport, wherever possible.
