Facilities

The Event Space at Paintworks is a large enclosure (30m x 11m), with a mixture of wooden and painted concrete floors. This rather remarkable space is nevertheless rather cosy, and is embellished by a line of characterful black steel pillars across the centre of the room. Many brides and grooms have taken advantage of these pillars by decorating them with lights and flowers.

The Theatre Space is a smaller (11m x 8m) and more intimate area, which could be separated from the principal Event Space, and used as a lovely little ceremony room. The Theatre Space also showcases a balcony which could be put to a variety of uses - remember, this is your blank canvas!

The two spacious outdoor courtyards come with attractive terrace decking, complete with a decorative silver Airstream Caravan. These areas are fully licensed, so you and your guests can sample some fine champagne or cocktails in the sunshine. Couples marrying at The Paintworks have even brought in a hog-roast in the past! This area is available inclusively for use until 9pm.

Services

As previously stated, the major appeal of The Event Space at The Paintworks is the fact that it is a DIY, blank-canvas-style wedding venue. This simply means that the areas for you to stage your ceremony or reception are versatile, and details such as the layout of tables and decorations are left entirely to your discretion.

This said, The Events Space elaborates on the "DIY venue" label significantly through offering everything you need to host your wedding there. Whereas most DIY venues simply give you a space in which to fashion your own wedding, The Paintworks offers the services of a talented in-house catering and bar company: two types of wedding supplier that are otherwise notoriously difficult to source.

The events team at the Paintworks will be there for you at any point in your wedding planning process. Does the prospect of taking on a DIY wedding venue fill you with dread and uncertainty? No worries, as having the events team on your side means that this venue truly offers you the best of both worlds!

The Event Space At The Paintworks' in-house catering is produced and presented by the wonderful Gloucestershire-based company, Relish. They are a well-established catering and bar company.
