The RWA Venue Hire

At the very top of Park Street, you’ll find the landmark of the Royal West of England Academy. Usually an art space and gallery, you might want to treat your guests to the spectacular surroundings on offer here, with its impressive marble landing, the wonderful dome above your head, and far-reaching views across historic Clifton, in the very heart of the city. 

Available every evening from 5pm for hire, the gallery can offer you help with your event needs by suggesting a list of amazing suppliers, be they DJ, caterer or bar services. 


Square Club, Bristol

The Square Club is a unique events space and party venue in the heart of Clifton. They cater for all kinds of events from private dinners and weddings to roaring parties of 120.  Whether you are after an intimate celebration or a larger gathering, this spacious and versatile restaurant can accommodate your party. 


You’ll see from their private hire details, that their set menus can cater for groups of between 10 and 70 people, with prices starting from £35 per person. If you’d like to start your evening with a more informal celebration, there’s also the option of mingling in their boutique lounge as a reception space for arrival drinks and canapés.
