The Mansion House is the official residence of the Lord Mayor of Bristol. He was holding a party, and I and my partner were invited to attend.
This structure is not the original Mansion House (nor is the second). However, it has a mixed appearance that could make you think it was older than it is.
There are lots of columns, wooden panelling throughout, and a large variety of paintings, sculptures, and artifacts, which give it an air of historic grandeur.
The House also has extensive grounds, which can be used when the weather is more appropriate for outside use.
These days, the property is predominantly used for functions, often for weddings. The facilities would provide a memorable day for most groups.
On the downside, it is located on the edge of Clifton, and the roads are narrow, busy, and often congested. Parking is difficult with most on-road parking requiring payment. There is a very small amount of parking on site.
The site is also going to be difficult to be of use for the less mobile. Toilets are on the first floor; there is a lift, but it's quite small.
I would also caution that there is another place called the Mansion House hotel, which is several miles away; apparently some sat-nav systems confuse the two.
But overall, it is a charming place with considerable history, and worth considering for holding your special event.

My friend had her reception here yesterday. I am lost for words. Food was outstanding, you were never left without a drink either. I was waited on hand and foot. Absolutely amazing service & a very beautiful place. My first ever review with a full 5 stars. I thank each and every one of your staff for all their hard work yesterday.
We contacted the Mansion House after our wedding venue went bankrupt ten weeks before our wedding day. Abigail was absolutely fantastic - she responded to our email immediately, squeezed us in for a viewing the same day, and followed up with all of the details straight away.
Abigail really took the stress out of the situation for us, and although we decided on another replacement venue in the end (so as not to let down our caterer), it was fantastic to know we had such a great option available to us.

Great wedding venue with extremely friendly and helpful staff
In July 2019 we had the pleasure of holding our wedding weekend at The Mansion House. Simon, Abigail, Beth and the team were absolutely amazing, the entire weekend (Saturday wedding, Sunday BBQ) was faultless. The food was fantastic, the venue beautiful, and the general running of the weekend was just perfect. We have so much gratitude for giving us everything we wanted and more. Our guests could not have been more impressed. Highly recommended!
Stunning venue, been going for last 3 years to works Christmas party...
Lovely place, very good food and spacious.
