The Great Hall's carved oak panels have witnessed Bristol's most distinguished gatherings for generations, and stepping through these doors, you understand why. This magnificent 405-square-metre space transforms corporate celebrations, award ceremonies and cultural events into occasions your guests will remember long after they leave. We've hosted everything from international conferences to exhibition launches here, with our soaring vaulted ceilings creating an atmosphere that elevates any gathering. Natural light pours through the tall leaded windows during daytime events, while evening functions take on a more intimate character as the oak panelling glows under warm lighting. The architectural details, from the intricate ceiling arches to the historic portraits adorning the walls, provide a backdrop that needs no additional decoration. Our professional stage and integrated audio-visual systems mean presentations run smoothly without compromising the hall's character. We can arrange seating for 800 guests theatre-style, create classroom layouts for 250, or set elegant round tables for 240 diners. For cocktail receptions and networking events, the full space accommodates 800 standing guests comfortably, with natural flow between the stage area and main floor. The acoustics, refined over decades of use, ensure every speaker reaches the back row clearly. Our technical team manages the projectors, microphones and lighting controls, letting you focus on your guests rather than logistics. Air conditioning keeps everyone comfortable year-round, while our approved caterers understand exactly how to work within this historic setting. Just 1.2 kilometres from Bristol city centre, your guests can easily reach us via public transport. We've installed lifts and accessible facilities throughout, ensuring everyone enjoys the space equally. Whether you're planning a gala dinner, product launch or annual conference, the Great Hall provides both the grandeur and practical amenities to make your vision reality.
