Welcome to Ashton Court Mansion - Bristol’s Premier Conference and Banqueting centre.

Ashton Court Mansion dominates a fabulous 850acre country estate only five minutes drive from Bristol’s vibrant and cosmopolitan waterfront bars and restaurants. The estate is a short distance from the Clifton Suspension Bridge, and well situated for the M4 & M5 motorways, with regional road and rail networks providing links to all major cities. The unique and stylish conference rooms are sunny and south facing, with views towards the city. They provide perfect surroundings for meetings, dinners, product launches, and exhibitions. The Music Room offers space for up to 250 delegates theatre style or 120 cabaret style. Smaller parties of up to 60 theatre style,or 40 cabaret style can be accommodated in the Panelled Lounges. The mansion is also available for exclusive hire all year round, and whilst offering a perfect setting for formal occasions, with a touch of creativity and a little flexibility, we’re also one of the city’s best venues for corporate activities, family fun days, summer buffets, BBQ’s or presentation events. During the summer months, the mansion becomes a perfect backdrop for open-air concerts and festivals. Marquees can be adjoined to the southern façade or built on a separate site; add a fairground ride and fireworks and your party is complete! But the mansion really comes to life in December, when the halls are decked with holly and ivy, creating a truly traditional setting for a ‘cracker’ of a Christmas party. Smaller groups of 10 or more are welcome to buy tables at our ‘join a party’ nights, or parties of 80 or more can book exclusively Fantastic Food & Drink The menus at Ashton Court have been specially created by our executive chef. Everything is carefully prepared and cooked on-site, and whether your event is a small family celebration, a company dinner, or an executive conference, we offer top class food on every occasion. We pride ourselves on our flexibility, and the dishes on our current menus represent only a small selection of those our chefs are able to prepare, so if you have any specific requirements, we will be delighted to discuss them with you.
