About First Class Dining Saloon (New..)
160 Banquet
160 Standing / Reception
The First Class Dining Saloon aboard the SS Great Britain transforms your celebration into a Victorian voyage without ever leaving Bristol's Great Western Dockyard. We've preserved every detail of this opulent space, from the gleaming chandeliers casting warm light across rich wood paneling to the golden columns that frame your gathering. Your guests will dine where first-class passengers once enjoyed their meals crossing the Atlantic, surrounded by the same ornate wall details and plush red seating that defined luxury travel in Brunel's era. The saloon accommodates up to 160 guests, whether you're planning a seated banquet along our long elegant tables or a flowing reception where people mingle beneath the historic chandeliers. We've thoughtfully integrated modern necessities without disrupting the Victorian atmosphere. Our PA system ensures speeches reach every corner, while Wi-Fi keeps you connected despite the maritime setting. The flexible layout adapts to your vision, whether that's formal dining arrangements or cocktail-style celebrations with guests moving freely through the space. The harbor views through our windows add another dimension to your event, particularly stunning as evening lights reflect off the water. Our experienced team works with you to create the perfect setup, from intimate corporate dinners to grand birthday celebrations or anniversary parties. The combination of historical grandeur and contemporary comfort creates an atmosphere your guests won't find anywhere else in Bristol. Every event here becomes part of the ship's continuing story, your celebration joining the legacy of countless journeys and gatherings. The First Class Dining Saloon offers more than just a venue; it provides an experience that anchors your special occasion in maritime history while delivering all the practical elements needed for a successful modern event.
