About
Situated in one of the most vibrant cities and best-known universities in the UK, Bristol SU offers a wide range of spaces for hire for a variety of event needs. Whether you would like to host a conference, live entertainment event, or meeting, we have the space for you. The Richmond Building is the home of Bristol SU and our spaces. Situated on Queens Road in Clifton, the Richmond Building is easily accessible to the city centre and other areas of the city via car, foot, and bus. In 2015, the Richmond building opened after a £30 million revamp and now offers a large event space in the Anson Rooms, two theatres, two bars and a variety of multi-purpose activity rooms available to hire. It is a unique facility within the city that offers a wide range of spaces to meet the needs of any event. As a registered charity, the income generated from external events goes directly towards supporting Bristol student groups and activities.
