About this space

when the Symonds Room is combined with the Fisher Room, it creates a larger space that's perfect for larger meetings, lunches or dinners, and wedding ceremonies. With a wealth of period features and large windows that overlook a beautiful garden, you'll forget you're in the heart of a busy city.

If you'd like to take in some fresh air, we can arrange access to the garden for you and your guests in a secluded spot. And if you need any audio-visual equipment such as plasma screens, projectors, or flip charts, we've got you covered.

Catering is also available from either our in-house caterers or a selection of third-party caterers that have been working with the University of Bristol for many years. We want to make sure that every aspect of your event is taken care of, so you can focus on what's important - your guests and your message. Contact us today to book the Symonds Room and create an unforgettable event.

Clifton Hill House is situated in the heart of Clifton and was commissioned in 1747 by the Bristol Merchant and shipowner, Pail Fisher. In the 19th century, the Victorian critic and writer John Addington Symonds lived here until 1881. In 1909 the University bought the house and it became the first Hall of Residence for female students.

The extremely attractive 18th-century gardens still retain much of their original charm and a character with some rare tulip trees still blooming.
It is now used for functions and meetings all year round and boasts elegant Georgian reception rooms, a print gallery and foyer.

Overnight accommodation can also be offered during the summer vacation.
