Event Travel

The Wills Memorial Building at the top of Park Street is a true Bristol icon, and makes a dramatic and inspiring venue. A sweeping double stone staircase and carved stone vaulted ceiling leads to the impressive Great Hall and Reception Room, both with acres of carved oak, panelled walls and lead windows. Perfect for a banquet, an Awards ceremony, conference or exhibition, the space is flexible and impressive.
