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 12 June 2026 — a guide, not a quote. Confirm with them directly.

This page is read by Bristol founders looking for a desk. The listing costs nothing while we launch — if a rate has changed or we've missed a tier, tell us and we'll put it right.
Update this listing →Bristol Spring is the online community behind these tools — around 135 Bristol founders who, between them, have been through nearly every workspace and accelerator in the city, now helping each other across all of them. Saying where they're working from today, asking for intros, answering each other with real names attached. The only thing missing is you. Two minutes to join, nothing to pay, leave any time.
