Goldney Hall
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Goldney Hall is one of the three halls of residence in Clifton, Bristol providing self-catering accommodation for students at the University of Bristol.
When the hall was first acquired by the university, it was home to 19 female students and was a catered hall.
The hall is now comprised of 11 blocks, 2 of which have en-suite facitilies. The hall can accommodate 267 students in addition to a few residents in the main house. Originally opened in 1956, the student blocks were almost completely rebuilt and refurbished in 1994, when the hall achieved its current size and layout.
Goldney Hall is a popular location for filming with parts of The Chronicles of Narnia, The House of Eliott and Berkeley Square filmed there. The grotto in Goldney's garden is a Grade I listed building, and the main house is Grade II.
The hall also has an orangery, attached to the main house, and this is regularly used for weddings, especially during the summer months. The beautiful gardens are an attractive feature for guests at these events.
