Engineers House, Bristol

Engineers’ House is a Grade II listed conference centre in Clifton Down, a prestigious suburb of Bristol.

It was built in 1831 by Charles Dyer, a leading Bristol architect. The most famous owner of the house was Charles Pinney, who was the Mayor of Bristol during the Bristol City Riots, and although it is sometimes referred to as ‘The Mayor’s House’, it was actually the private home of the Pinney family between 1835 and 1867.

9 conference/lecture rooms (all air conditioned), 9 syndicate rooms, 160 capacity Theatre room
