About
M Shed is a world-class cultural landmark and unique events venue set on the harbourside in the heart of Bristol. The museum has been designed to retain the character of the former 1950s transit shed but with the addition of purpose-built event facilities and state of the art lighting, AV equipment and hybrid meeting options for 40 to 500 guests.
M Shed are delighted to announce an extension to their event spaces, giving a larger capacity to the venue, extra spaces for break outs and smaller meetings, and more flexible options and opportunities for their clients’ events across their Harbourview Suite, Waterside Suite, M Studios, and M Bar spaces.
M Shed can now host conferences and dinners for up to 270 people in one space, or 400 across the venue and receptions or parties for up to 500 guests, with multiple break-out rooms, additional space for catering or exhibitions and of course the fabulous views of the iconic Bristol Harbour from their balconies and terraces which has become synonymous with every great M Shed event.
By hosting your event with M Shed, you are supporting Bristol Museums (registered charity no. 1137777) and the work they do to care for the treasures in their collection, run exciting learning and engagement programmes, as well as continue to put on world-class exhibitions across all their Bristol sites.
M Shed really does has everything you need for a fantastic event for 40 to 500 guests. A stunning harbourside location, excellent service, awards for their social and sustainability practices, and delicious, nutritious catering for all its guests.
