Frequently Asked Question
How do I make a booking?
Download and complete the booking form using the button above. Email your completed form to: info@southmead.org.
The form is essential to provide all the details we need to ensure you have everything you require for your event. It also contains terms of hire so do read those carefully before booking.
If you work for a large organisation remember to tell us which department the booking is for and include a purchase order number, so we can process and confirm your booking smoothly.
Once we have received your form, we will check availability and get back to you to confirm your booking or, if necessary, suggest alternative dates and times.
How do I know my booking is confirmed?
Your booking is confirmed once you receive a confirmation email from us stating that your booking has been added to our system.
If you have not received a confirmation email, your booking may not yet be confirmed. In this case, or if you are unsure, contact us to check.

We are always happy to help clarify the status of your booking.
How do I pay for booking this space?
Once you have submitted your booking form and received confirmation that your chosen date and time are available, we will ask you to pay a £100 refundable security deposit to secure your reservation. Your booking will be confirmed once this deposit has been received.
To proceed with your booking, full payment is required at least 6 weeks before your reservation date, or as soon as possible if your booking is made less than 6 weeks in advance.
If there are no issues relating to the terms of hire available in the booking form during or at the end of your event, your security deposit will be refunded within 28 days.
Are your rooms accessible?

In our separate Greenrooms building, a wheelchair and mobility scooter lift is available to help visitors overcome the five steps between the main entrance and the rooms.
Inside Greenway Centre there is a passenger lift providing access to the first floor, and a wheelchair and mobility scooter lift to assist with the five steps leading to rooms Trym, Meadow, Bronze, Quarry and Bowness.
If you have any specific accessibility requirements or would like to discuss your visit in advance, please contact us and we will be happy to help.
What is your cancellation policy?
