Clifton is all about elegance and history, with venues like Merchants' Hall offering stunning architecture. On the other hand, Harbourside has a lively, modern vibe with options like M Shed and The Bristol Stable, which are great for fun, energetic gatherings.
It depends on the venue, but many venues include basic furniture, AV equipment, and sometimes catering. For example, Eastwood Park Country House offers flexible catering packages, while Ashton Gate Stadium provides high-tech AV for big events. Remember to ask what's included to avoid surprises.
Alcohol is permitted at many Bristol venues. Some even have fully stocked bars, like Circuit Bristol in Harbourside and The Lost & Found in Clifton. Make sure to confirm whether you need to obtain a separate license to serve alcohol or if the venue has that covered already.
