Venues
At Blast, we work a whole range of different venues where we help ensure events run smoothly. Take a look at a small selection of the venues we have worked at over the years..
St George’s Bristol is not only a world class music venue boasting a huge roster of legendary performances, but also plays host to a wide variety of events such as wedding receptions, professional recordings, product launches, parties, awards ceremonies, book talks and performances.
For wedding receptions, large parties and charity balls the Great Hall has dramatic style. Of its many breath-taking features, the first thing to strike you about the Great Hall is its size and style. Accessed by a glorious stone staircase, this is one of the largest venues in Bristol with a floor space of 7,000 sq. ft., and one of very few venues in Bristol capable of seating up to 380 guests. But the Great Hall is more than big; it’s spectacular. Light floods in through vast leaded windows, and fifty feet above the floor soars a hammer-beam roof creating a lofty open space that exudes grandeur, history and tradition; setting the scene for an event to remember. Centrally located, the Great Hall is easy to get to by car and public transport from all over the city and there is some car parking available on site, at selected times, which can be prearranged. There is also a lot of additional on street and other car parks very close by.
Paintworks Event Space is a large, versatile, blank canvas space with an exciting programme of public and private events, whether it be for a conference, wedding or party venue in the heart of Bristol. The space is one large open venue, which is usually hired as a whole, but can be divided up by a heavy theatre curtain, dividing the Theatre Space from the Gallery/ Event Space.
This Bristol conference venue offers an outstanding Grade 1 listed Victorian building and is one of the largest events venues in the South West. As one of the oldest train stations in the world, Brunel’s original adjoining Passenger Shed is now an atmospheric conference venue which is perfect for an endless variety of events. These include Bristol Conferences, Exhibitions, Dinner Parties, Corporate Hospitality, Special Events, Christmas Parties, Festivals in Bristol & Weddings. The Passenger Shed is a beautiful historical room that can accommodate up to 650 guests for corporate dining or up to 800 delegates for presentations with two adjoining rooms.
The brand new Langridge Stand is a stunning venue to celebrate a truly outstanding occasion. 1811, the stunning ground floor bar is ideal for welcome drinks and canapes while Royal Crescent, the first-floor event suite offers unrivalled views over the racecourse. For something unique and memorable, your guests can venture onto the Roof Garden and enjoy a glass of bubbly overlooking the city of Bath.
Arnos Vale Cemetery is a national heritage site, located in the heart of Bristol and set with 45 acres of stunning green woodland ecosystem. Arnos Vale is regularly used by businesses for meeting, training and conferences, welcoming both local and national companies into our recently restored Grade II listed venues. As a popular community space, they also host a range of music and theatrical performances, alongside private parties and public classes.
Hired as a whole, the space lends itself to a variety of modern events from seminars, workshops, conferences, photoshoots, parties and weddings. With a capacity for 75, the venue offers a reception room, main room, and beautiful urban terrace. The reception room welcomes you in neo-classical style; contemporary practicalities allowing for the smooth running of your event. The main room is an open white space, with hand-crafted cornicing, chandeliers, bare brick walls and plenty of natural light flooding in from large sash windows. A wooden balustrade staircase leads to the urban terrace, where the wall bar offers a wide variety of drinks to enjoy as you mingle in the fresh air.
