We present first steps towards studying collisionless shocks by laser driven ablation in the large scale magnetised ambient plasma produced by a pulsed power-driven exploding wire array. The scale of the magnetised plasma exceeds what has previously been achievable on laser-driven platforms and will allow shock propagation over larger distances. We present data from experiments carried out at the MAGPIE facility and discuss this progress in the context of the open questions mentioned above.
