Our spaces 

Bristol City Hall offers a choice of elegant rooms, each with its own character and history. The Queen Elizabeth II Hall provides the largest setting for conferences, dinners and receptions. The Council Chamber retains its original civic design and offers a distinctive backdrop for formal events. 

For smaller occasions, The Lord Mayor’s Reception Room, Lady Mayor’s Parlous and Lady Members Room provide refined spaces suited to meetings or private gatherings. Additional rooms include the Bordeaux Room and Puerto Morazan, which offer flexible layouts for workshops, meetings and small-scale events, and the Hannover Room and Tbilisi which feature fixed boardroom setups. 

Each space combines period detail with practical features, creating an inspiring environment for both corporate and social occasions. 

Our events 

Bristol City Hall hosts a wide range of occasions, including conferences, meetings, receptions and exhibitions. Seasonal celebrations such as Summer & Christmas parties take advantage of the striking curved exterior, the moat bridge entrance and the grand interiors, including the spectacular black-and-white marble foyer. 

Corporate gatherings and product launches benefit from the central location and professional facilities. Private celebrations, including weddings and parties, take place in rooms that showcase period details and elegant furnishings, thoughtfully laid out to complement the event's atmosphere.

Testimonials

We had a great day and everyone said what a brilliant venue it is. Holly and Tom were both incredibly helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The catering was perfect too, everyone was really happy.

The planning was great, and you made the whole process very easy – great communication from start to finish. The ops team were also excellent and were very accommodating on the day with small changes where needed. And the food was fantastic – not only was it super tasty, it was wonderful that the team knew exactly who had dietary requirements and asked to speak them specifically to ensure that they were well informed and could accommodate for their needs.

The visit went really well and the food and service provided by you was excellent. The food was well presented and delicious, and John was most helpful and attentive towards us.
