I hired out Totos by the River for my friends baby shower, and it was fantastic! The communication was excellent, Caroline was on top of everything and really helped us figure out every detail. The venue itself was incredibly good value for money, including the food! All of our guests loved the venue and had a great time. Thank you!

Your Guide to Hiring Christmas Party Venues in Bristol
Where to find Bristol's best Christmas party venues
As some of you might suspect, Bristol is very well prepared for the holiday season and has a ton of Christmas party spaces to choose from. Naturally, you’ve got the ever-popular restaurant and bar combo, as well as a variety of lounge spaces for drinks, mingling and a bit of dancing. There are also a lot more unique party venues that take advantage of Bristol’s diversity. How about hosting your holiday bash at an aquarium, sports stadium, zoo, or even an aircraft hangar? All of these can be found in Bristol. To top it all off, you can choose from a wide range of large festive party venues that are ready to host an event of any size you can bring together!
After hearing that, you might be wondering, where would I start looking to find some of these venues? A good point to start your search for places for holiday gatherings would be around Baldwin Street. Going both west and east along it, you’ll find a selection of some of the top-rated venues in Bristol. This area is home to both classic venues with no frills and some of the more quirky varieties, including. You might also have a closer look at Wine Street as you head east along the park towards Broadmead for some of large company Christmas spaces in the district. Be sure to also take a gander around Arno’s Vale because why not combine your booking with a trip to the Christmas Market?
Pricing options for holiday party locations
Figuring the price range for Christmas party venues for hire tends to vary a bit with size, location and amenities offered. Here are a few numbers to get you started:
- Often, you’ll find Bristol minimum spend venues, where you pay nothing for the space but agree to spend a set amount on the menu. Generally, you’ll find affordable party venues starting around £350 to luxury event spaces costing approximately £2000 total. The most versatile pricing structure, you’ll find this used very frequently at a variety of businesses.
- If you’re not interested in that, you could always opt for a Xmas event spot with a flat hire fee and then add food and drinks on as normal. These fees tend to go for somewhere between £50 - £600 and are most common for holiday restaurants and bars around Bristol.
- Probably the most common option for venues in Bristol is per-person pricing, with most spaces charging between £30-50 per guest. It’s always a good way to book if you’re not sure how many people will actually show up. Most commonly, this option is used by places that have a fixed menu or just serve drinks and snacks for mingling.
As always, try to book a Christmas party venue as far in advance as you can, as prices tend to rise the closer we get to the holiday season!

Verified Reviews of Christmas Party Venues in Bristol
Thank you so much to the team for letting us host our baby shower at your venue. Start to finish everything was super easy and we had the best time!
Jade and her team are beyond lovely! Nothing was too much to ask, and they accommodated all of our requests. We hosted a quiz here and the venue was perfect for it, Jade made sure we had everything arranged to our liking and that everything was in order. She was exceptionally communicative and helpful, couldn’t have asked for a better event manager. The in-house catering was also great, all guests were happy and those with dietary requirements were gratefully well-accommodated. All staff on site were friendly, helpful and professional, they really ensured that it was an stress-free experience. I can’t fault anything, and would happily book again.
the venue's décor was luxurious and glamourous throughout. 3 bars with comfortable seating and standing areas. Clock room and great large dance floor
The staff were absolutely amazing and really attentive. Venue is so lovely, could be used for any occasion. Love it being near the water.
