Bristol Museum & Art Gallery

The city museum has two packages to banish those post-Christmas blues. Their Exclusive Party Night Package starts from £47.00 + VAT per person and is complete with all the essentials for a night of dining and dancing with friends and colleagues. You’ll enjoy exclusive use of the Winterstoke and Wills Halls between 7pm-1am; a reception drink; private gallery viewing on arrival of new exhibition Magic; three-course seasonal dinner; private bar facility, and a DJ and disco.           

The Winter Soiree Canapé Package starts from £24.50 + VAT per person and is ideal for an early evening celebration or as a warm up to start your night out, with venue hire between 6-9pm. Canapés are served rather than the three-course dinner and there is a PA system with microphone playing background music instead of a DJ and disco.
