"From the moment we chose Bristol as our 2024 Summit destination, the Visit West team went above and beyond to support us with creativity, enthusiasm, and genuine excitement. From the very first proposal to the site visits and then the incredible onsite assistance during the event, they made everything so seamless—what had been a challenge in other locations felt effortless here. They truly became an extension of our event team, and it was an absolute joy to work with each and every one of them. We’d bring another event to Bristol in a heartbeat! Everyone had an amazing time—thank you, Visit West!"

‘We recently used Meet Bristol & Bath for the first time to try and find a suitable venue for our company summer social. Vicki was extremely helpful and quick to respond to my messages; she sourced the perfect venue for us within our budget and helped with negotiations on food and drink. Meet Bristol & Bath provide a great service for anyone short on time and short on inspiration! Would definitely recommend to others, and will use again for future company events’

Claire Allison, Inside Travel Group

“Since the moment when we decided to hold our tri-annual conference in Bath, the Meet-Bristol-Bath team was extremely helpful, kind and always prompt in assisting us, even with unusual requests. Their advice and suggestions are greatly appreciated and it’s a true pleasure to hold the 13^th edition of IMMEM in Bath with such a great local support.”

Carla Seiler - Head of Event Organisation - ESCMID

I highly recommend utilising the free venue finding service, the teams knowledge of venues in the area is second to none and saved me a lot of time. They were on hand to assist with finding solutions to our regular and changing demands amid COVID-19. I feel having their support can influence the venues flexibility opposed to if we dealt with the venue directly.

With their help, we were able to easily identify what was available in Bristol based on our criteria, with a very quick turnaround to any queries we had. I would highly recommend’.

‘I have been planning a Weekend in Bristol for my Livery Company for a couple of years and Meet Bristol & Bath (then Meet Bristol) has been a great help in identifying the hotel, dinner venues and City highlights best suited to our group. They know the City well and were able to make the local contacts. They set up the meetings I needed at each place to sort out arrangements for our visit’.

Meet Bristol & Bath (then Meet Bristol) were an Alliance Partner for MEET South West 2019, the first trade show for the events industry in the South West.

Rich Warren, Festival Director, Encounters Festival 

“Our UK Launch Conference at MShed, Bristol, brought together over 70 researchers and scientists from 11 African countries, from the USA and Taiwan, as well as from across the UK. Our delegates really appreciated the maps, brochures and guidance about ‘getting here’, ‘things to do’ and ‘places to eat’ that were helpfully provided by the Meet Bristol & Bath (then Meet Bristol) team. There was lots of positive feedback and we’re sure the team’s work helped our delegates make the most of their stay in our wonderful city."
