Millennium Square is a city square in the Canon's Marsh area of Bristol, England.[1] It was built in the late 1990s as part of the harbourside regeneration and We The Curious (then named @Bristol) development, and has become a popular public area and event space.[2] The square is a 55 by 40 metres (180 by 131 ft) pedestrianised space,[3] joined at its northeast corner to the smaller Anchor Square, forming part of the Brunel Mile, a sequence of traffic-free and low-traffic spaces forming a route through central Bristol.[2]

The square sits above a 2-storey underground car park and is flanked by ten ventilation towers.[4]
