Celebrations at the Forge

We love hosting parties at the Forge. Tucked away in a cobbled side street in the city center, our venue is the perfect space to private hire for special birthday parties, family celebrations, and get-togethers. An intimate and beautiful setting in which to gather friends and family, with original brickwork walls and dramatic views of the Bristol skyline through the industrial-style floor-to-ceiling windows.

Private Parties

Our space is available to exclusively hire during the day or night for birthday parties, family celebrations, hen parties, baby showers and intimate wedding or engagement gatherings. We can host up to 70 people for a standing party, or 40 seated. The venue is beautiful as is but of course you are welcome to decorate to suit your style. Or if you would like us to decorate for you…let us know !

Eat

Canapé parties, private suppers, street food vans and delicious buffets - whatever you fancy we can do. We partner with Pasetti & Boote for our catering plus a select few of Bristol’s exceptional independent caterers. You are also welcome to provide your own buffet.

Drink

Bubbles on arrival, bespoke cocktails and delicious alcohol free drinks; let our staff pour your guests something special. We have a fully licensed bar and stock small batch beers, spirits, bubbles and wines from some of our favourite Bristol independents.

Dance

If you want a night of music and dancing, bring a playlist of your favourite tunes, hire a DJ or get a band in for your night - we can make it happen. We have lot’s of super talented musician and DJ friends who love to play at the Forge. ..

Private Dining

If you would prefer a smaller more intimate gathering, The Forge is a striking yet cosy space to host a private supper for friends and family.

We partner exclusively with Pasetti and Boote for our long table suppers. They are passionate about food and are a perfect fit for the Forge. We couldn’t be happier to be working with them. We can seat up to 40 and are available on select evenings only.
