Welcome to Ashton Court Mansion
Once home to the wealthy Smythes of Bristol, Ashton Court Mansion sits proudly on the edge of 860 acres of glorious, undulating parkland. Protected by a sweep of high ground, the estate is only a short distance from the Clifton Suspension bridge, and a five minute drive from the city’s vibrant and cosmopolitan centre.

Step inside Ashton Court Mansion and experience the days of splendour and extravagance at one time only enjoyed by Bristol's wealthy upper classes. The difference now of course is that Ashton Court Mansion is available to hire for weddings, balls and parties, and boasts unrivalled quality of service for meetings and corporate events.

Gothic stonework and Georgian panelling sets this truly unique and glorious building aside from all others, offering outstanding facilities inside and out.

Whatever type of event you have in mind, from the intimate to the grand, this historic venue offers a perfect setting all year round.
