innovation hub
The city's front door for tech innovation, in Brunel's old engine shed at Temple Meads — home to SETsquared, one of the world's top university incubators. Less a place to rent a desk, more a place your startup grows up.
Best for: Tech founders heading for incubation, investment and university links.
Due to close in December 2026 as SETsquared moves to Temple Quarter — check before planning a long stay.
From Engine Shed's public rates, checked 11 June 2026 — a guide, not a quote. Confirm with them directly.
