DeskLodge runs event spaces in central Bristol for company parties, networking events, product launches, workshops and away days, from 20 to 200 guests. The workspace operator uses two buildings: DeskLodge House at 2 Redcliffe Way, a short walk from Bristol Temple Meads, and Beacon Tower on Colston Street, with a rooftop terrace. It reports more than 100 events a year.
Seminars and company events
DeskLodge House holds a third-floor event room for up to 75 guests. It has natural light, an industrial character and a fully flexible layout, with kitchen access. The room is equipped for presentations, with a large screen or projector, and suits talks, panels, workshops, away days, team socials and evening events. It is a five-minute walk from Temple Meads station, and parking is available.
Smaller groups can book meeting rooms in the same building, on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., by the hour or the day. NASA seats 16, Chapter 9 seats 9 and The Greenhouse seats 7. Rooms have fast WiFi and ethernet, HD screens, a whiteboard or flipchart, video conferencing kit on request, and tea and coffee.
Weddings and receptions
The official site does not offer weddings. Receptions are limited to company celebrations, networking events and summer or evening parties.
Rooms and capacities
The Rooftop Terrace at Beacon Tower, Colston Street, takes up to 200 guests. It is open-air with partial cover, has its own bar and a built-in sound system, and looks across Bristol harbor. The operator suggests it for summer parties, brand activations, launch parties, evening mixers and team socials. At DeskLodge House, the third-floor room takes up to 75.
Every booking includes core facilities: a large screen or projector, flexible layouts and refreshments. A sound system and microphones are available, though marked as extras on the site.
Three ways to book are offered. Dry hire gives exclusive use of the space for 20 to 200 people, with AV equipment included, and you bring your own food, drinks and suppliers. A fully managed event, also for 20 to 200 people, adds a trusted event partner who provides catering, bars, entertainment, staffing and planning. A third option suits organizers of regular meet-ups, workshops or community groups, from 10 to 200 people, with a package built around the frequency of events.
Catering
Catering depends on the format. With dry hire you arrange your own food and drink. With a managed event the partner supplies catering and bars. The site also mentions local catering discounts for people who use the meeting rooms.
Getting there
DeskLodge House, 2 Redcliffe Way, Bristol BS1 6NL, is in the Redcliffe area, about five minutes on foot from Bristol Temple Meads. Beacon Tower, Colston Street, Bristol BS1 4XE, sits in the city center near bars and restaurants and over the harbor. Parking is mentioned for DeskLodge House.
When you send a request, give the date, the guest count and whether you want the rooftop or the indoor room, since the two sites differ in capacity and in weather cover.
