We’ve got you covered!
The way we host events has changed dramatically this year and there are still lots of restrictions upon us. But alas, it’s not all doom and gloom. There are still some great ways to host your meeting, event or team building session (following government guidance of course!).
Book a Covid-secure Venue
Venues in Bristol and the surrounding areas have worked hard to become Covid-secure, investing a lot of time and money into adapting their venues to adhere to the new regulations. Upon writing this blog (October 2020) business events for up to 30 people can still take place in Bristol, in Covid-secure venues.
There are several industry standards to look out for that signify the venues have put the relevant practices in place to resume business. Such as the AA’s Covid-19 Confident and VisitBritain’s ‘We’re Good to Go’ industry standards. Venues who have informed us they have achieved ‘We’re Good to Go’ accreditation can be found here.

Many venues have set up their own policies that can be viewed on their websites, for example the University of Bristol Venues & Events team have a commitment to hosting safe events policy, Make Venues Engineers House has a duty of care programme, The Bristol - a Doyle Collection Hotel has a rest assured programme for meetings and events, plus M Shed has put together a ‘Safe space’ meeting package.
Ashton Gate Stadium have gone a step further and released a video highlighting the measures that they have put in place, which visualises how you can host your event safely at their venue.
If you’d like to book your event at one of Bristol’s Charitable venues, to support their cause, please find a list of venues we recommend here.
