Banksy Bristol City Museum Show, by spenie1975 on Jul 30, 2009 21:38:29 GMT 1, Cracking day out, set off at 08.30 and got back at 20.00. Queued for about 1 1/2 hours so not all that bad. Loved the paintings and the studio, was quite busy so couldn't spend as long as I would have liked looking in there. Disappointed with the pet shop as a lot had stopped working, my daughter wasn't impressed. Too much to take in for just one visit and felt like I was in everybodys camera shot if you got to close. Would love to visit again but too far to travel,well worth the journey though. By the way postcards are back in stock.

HAte to say it, but its true. If you haven't allowed time for queueing then don't bother, waited 2 and a half hours yesterday, but well well worth it.

I can't believe that this show is still so popular; 6 weeks on and the queues continue to grow. I was hoping to pop down next weekend for a second look but not sure I'll have time.
Does anyone know how quickly they move; how long are people queueing for at the moment?

Hey hlarmy - I went for the second time a little over a week ago, cos I wanted to take the kids. We got there around 1pm. We had to q for around 2 hours, which was ok as it wasnt raining. I expect the q's are long now because it's school holidays. I def wanted to avoid going at the weekend. The show was very much worth the wait.

The rest of the city were down at the harbour festival though...
Next weekend might be a good time to go because of the balloon festival to occupy some of the people who would otherwise pop in.

Banksy Bristol City Museum Show, by atomone on Aug 5, 2009 10:55:37 GMT 1, I went 2 weekends ago and arrived at 10:30am on the Sunday, and was told there was a minimum 4 hour wait...it took just over 2 hours to get in but it was raining and so people were dropping out. The security did say that everyday from now on will be approximately a 2 hour wait up until the show ends! Have to say it was well worth the train Journey from London and the rainy 2 hour wait! Best show I have ever seen!!

The train is only about 1h 45m from Lon - Bristol so why don't you just jump on a train to Bristol that night, stay the night in Bristol and have a lye in.
Otherwise just get a National Express bus from the airport (esp. if it's Heathrow) straight to Bristol as it'll take you over an hour to get to Paddington from Heathrow anyway (not much less than a bus to Brizzle).
By the way, the train is direct if you go with your original plan. Bear in mind that trains between something like 6-9 are very expensive on a weekday as it's rush hour (another reason to go the night before).

There is a train that runs from Gatwick to Reading from where you can catch another train to Temple Meads although it does depend on the time you get in to Gatwick.
Temple Meads is about a 20 min walk to the museum.
