Welcome to Watershed, home to three cinemas, the Pervasive Media Studio, Undershed and a Café & Bar on Bristol’s Harbourside.
Please enter via the main entrance using the walkway next to the harbourside.
If you need to use the ramped, electronically assisted entrance door, it is at the side of the building around the corner from the main entrance.
We encourage people to use paperless tickets on their mobile phones, but you can collect or buy your tickets from Box Office if you like.
If you’re visiting Undershed, you can head to the door to the right of the Box Office.
If you’re visiting for a cinema screening or going to the Café & Bar or the Pervasive Media Studio, you can then go straight up the flight of stairs to the first floor.
Or you can get a lift to the first floor.
When you arrive upstairs you will see the Welcome Desk.
If you want to go straight to the Cinema, scan your mobile or paper ticket using the scanner (a member of staff can help you if you need it) and you will be directed to the Cinemas. Cinema doors are opened 20 minutes before the film.
If you need the toilet before or during the film, there are gender neutral toilets to the left of the Welcome Desk.
Or you can follow the signs to the toilets to the rear of the cinemas.
Once you are in the cinema, you will notice there are a lot of seats. You can sit in any of these seats.
When the film ends, you leave by using the way you came in.
If you want to visit the Café & Bar, go back through the foyer and find yourself a table.
Speak to a member of staff behind the bar to place your order and let them know your table number. Any drinks or cake orders will be given to you at the bar after you order. Any food orders will be delivered to your table after you order.
If you need the toilet whilst you are visited the Café & Bar you can use the toilets near the Café & Bar or the toilets in the foyer. Here is a picture of the Café & Bar toilets.
If you’re visiting the Pervasive Media Studio, head past the Café & Bar toilets until you reach a set of double doors.
If these double doors are closed, press the buzzer on the right-hand side of the doors. Someone will answer the door and will ask for your reason to visit the Studio.
This person will then grant you access to the Studio. You will then be able to open the doors and continue to a second set of double doors, which is the entrance of the Studio. Someone will be there to welcome you.
If the double doors are already open, head straight through to the entrance of the Studio. Someone will be there to welcome you.
To leave Watershed go back down the main stairs or take the lift back to the main entrance.
