Bristol is one of the most charming and historic parts of the UK, and offers plenty of venues for parties of all shapes and sizes. The Centre and Old City are historic districts. Part of the original mediaeval city can even still be found here, particularly around Corn Street and Clare Street. Many hotels and meeting rooms are available in this area, particularly the larger hotel chains familiar to corporate meeting planners. Harbourside in the north, lies near to Spike Island and is also the location of some of the city’s most popular venues. It's a local favourite for good reason. The Wapping Wharf district features small and notable restaurants that will offer your event a highly unique flair. If you keep heading north you’ll hit Broadmead, a main shopping district, with opportunities here for more modern venues, restaurants, including pubs and bars with rooms for hire.
