About The Light Studio
15 Boardroom
45 Theatre
70 Standing / Reception
Sunlight pours through floor-to-ceiling windows, transforming our Light Studio into a canvas of natural illumination throughout the day. From this third-floor perch at Arnolfini Gallery, your guests will gaze out across Bristol's harbourside, watching boats drift past while the city skyline frames your celebration. We've kept the space deliberately minimal, with pristine white walls and polished concrete floors that reflect the changing light. The industrial ceiling, complete with exposed ductwork, adds character without overwhelming the room, creating an atmosphere that feels both contemporary and comfortable. It's this simplicity that makes the studio so versatile for parties, whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a lively reception. The room adapts beautifully to different party formats. For cocktail receptions, we can accommodate up to 70 guests who'll mingle freely while enjoying harbour views. More formal seated celebrations work wonderfully too, with space for 45 in theatre-style rows, or 15 around a boardroom table for special dinners. Our flexible projector setup means you can screen memories, showcase presentations, or create visual atmospheres to complement your event. Being part of an active arts centre brings unexpected benefits. Your guests might arrive early to explore our current exhibitions, adding cultural depth to their evening. The harbourside location means easy access from central Bristol, with plenty of transport options nearby. Our ground-floor Café Bar, operated by Bristol Beer Factory, provides catering options ranging from canapés to full meals, all sourced from local suppliers. The combination of natural light, urban views, and artistic surroundings creates something special here. Your celebration becomes part of the gallery's creative energy, giving guests an experience that goes beyond typical party venues.
