The Reception Room at Wills Memorial Building offers the perfect blend of historic grandeur and modern functionality for your celebration or gathering. When you first walk through the doorway, the oak-panelled walls immediately set the tone, their rich wood grain complemented by historic portraits that give the space real character and depth. We've hosted countless celebrations here, from milestone birthday parties to corporate award ceremonies, and the room never fails to create the right atmosphere. The high ceiling with its ornate plasterwork gives your event a sense of occasion, while the authentic fireplaces add warmth that makes even formal gatherings feel welcoming. Red curtains frame the stage area, creating a natural focal point whether you're planning speeches, presentations, or entertainment. Natural light streams through our leaded windows during daytime events, though the room transforms beautifully in the evening when we dim the lights for dinner parties or drinks receptions. We can accommodate up to 250 guests for standing receptions, making it ideal for networking events or cocktail parties. For seated dinners, we comfortably host 90 guests, with various layout options including cabaret style for 60 or theatre seating for 200. Everything you need runs seamlessly in the background. Our projector and PA system handle presentations and music without any fuss, while reliable Wi-Fi keeps everyone connected. The air conditioning ensures comfort year-round, and we provide on-site alcohol service with approved catering options to suit your event style. Just 1.2 km from Bristol city centre, your guests can easily reach us via public transport. The neo-Gothic architecture of the building creates an impressive arrival experience that sets expectations high, and the Reception Room delivers on that promise every time.
