The Official Convention Bureau for Bristol, Bath and The West of England
Visit West Convention Bureau supports event planners bringing conferences, meetings, events and incentive programmes to the Bristol, Bath and West of England region.
Plan your next event in Bristol and Bath
The region combines two distinct cities, Bath, a rare double-inscribed World Heritage Site, and Bristol, a major UK business hub with globally-recognised festivals, street art and attractions, plus accessible coastline and countryside.
The region is well connected by rail and road and served by Bristol Airport with routes across Europe and beyond. There are a wealth of inspiring and practical event venues, perfect for corporate, association or incentive business. Whether meeting at Brunel’s SS Great Britain, the world's first luxury liner, networking next to the Roman Baths in the historic City of Bath or dining under the wings of the last Concorde to fly at Aerospace Bristol, the region offers your delegates an experience to remember.
