You can put a plenary of up to 1,650 seated delegates, a gala dinner, an exhibition of up to 60 stands and small breakout meetings under one roof in central Bristol, with AV, an on-site technician and a named event coordinator included in the venue’s conference packages. You also help fund a music charity: Bristol Beacon says hire income supports a programme that reaches more than 30,000 young people a year. The building is the restored concert hall on Trenchard Street, BS1 5AR, run by Bristol Music Trust, and it hires its halls, foyer, cellars and meeting rooms for conferences, AGMs, launches and exhibitions alongside its concert programme.
