It depends on the vibe you're after! Clifton is great for peaceful, eco-conscious venues, while Redcliffe has bigger conference-style spaces like Novotel Bristol Centre that are excellent for corporate retreats. If you want something unique, check out Wake The Tiger in Lawrence Hill, an immersive space perfect for creative workshops. Bristol Old City has timeless gems and spaces that give your retreat a quiet, reflective atmosphere.
If you want fresh air and an open setting, check out venues like Pooles Wharf Outdoor Activity Centre, which is great for team-building retreats. Some venues, including West Country Water Park, even include activities alongside venue hire. Remember to check with the venue manager directly to see what outdoor access is included.
Bristol has some great eco-friendly options. Future Leap in Clifton offers carbon-neutral event spaces, making them perfect for a green retreat. These venues often have energy-efficient lighting, sustainable catering options, and even eco-friendly furniture.
Most venues allow external catering, but it varies. Some, like restaurant-based venues, prefer you to use their in-house catering. If you want full flexibility, look for venues that offer dry hire so you can bring in your own food, drinks, or even a private chef.
