To make a booking, please download and complete the Booking Request Form using the button on this page and email the completed form to info@southmead.org. 

The form is essential, as it provides us with all the details we need about your booking requirements. It also contains important information about our terms of hire, so please read it carefully before submitting. If you work for a large organisation, please remember to tell us which department is making the booking 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. 

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, please feel free to contact us to check. 

You can reach us by:

We are always happy to help clarify the status of your booking. 

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. 

Yes, our rooms are accessible, and we have lifts in place to support visitors using wheelchairs or mobility scooters. 

In the Greenrooms building, a wheelchair and mobility scooter lift is available to help visitors overcome the five steps between the main entrance and the hire rooms. 

In the Greenway building, 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 the Trym, Meadow, Bronze, Quarry and Bowness rooms. 

If you have any specific accessibility requirements or would like to discuss your visit in advance, please feel free to contact us and we will be happy to help.
