Meetings and conferences
With versatile event spaces and built in state-of-the-art AV equipment in a city centre location, M Shed is an ideal venue for your conference or meeting.
Holding a meeting or conference here provides unrivalled opportunities for your clients, guests or team members to experience something unique and inspiring.
Our Harbour View Suite can either be used as one space or divided into three different rooms which are perfect as breakout or networking spaces, and each have their own access to the spectacular balcony giving panoramic views of Bristol’s most well known landmarks.

With space for up to 270 delegates in theatre style, this is a great space for large conferences and also has direct access to the top floor roof terrace, making it a great choice for extending the day into the evening with networking drinks and canapes after a successful conference.
