It is an opportunity to come together with others who share a commitment to improving safety, support and outcomes for people affected by domestic abuse.A Cross-Sector Bristol EventOne of the strengths of the Domestic Abuse Conference Bristol is the range of professionals it brings together.Previous conferences have welcomed delegates from across the legal sector, domestic abuse services, charities, local authorities, healthcare, safeguarding, education, housing and wider support organisations.This mix of attendees creates an opportunity for cross-sector learning, networking and shared understanding. It also reflects the reality of domestic abuse work: no single professional or organisation can respond to every need alone.By bringing people together in one room, the conference aims to support stronger connections, better referral pathways and a wider understanding of the pressures and responsibilities faced by different services.About Watkins SolicitorsWatkins Solicitors are a multi award-winning law firm with offices in Bristol, Bath and Hereford.Our Family Law team regularly supports clients affected by domestic abuse, including urgent protective injunctions, child arrangements, divorce and separation, financial matters and wider family law issues.Watkins Solicitors are also committed to supporting the wider community through professional education, events and collaboration with organisations working directly with victim-survivors.Our annual Domestic Abuse Conference forms part of that wider commitment: creating space for professionals to learn, connect and strengthen their response to domestic abuse.About the VenueVenue details:The Mount WithoutUpper Church LaneBristolBS2 8FNEvent DetailsDate: Thursday 12 November 2026Time: 9.30 - 16:00Venue: The Mount Without, BristolLunch and refreshments includedNot-for-Profit EventAs a completely not-for-profit event, 100% of ticket sales go toward covering organisational costs, allowing us to keep prices reduced for charity staff and those working directly in domestic abuse support services.Booking InformationPlaces are limited and advance booking is required.Our previous Domestic Abuse Conference sold out, so early booking is recommended.For more information, please email Monique Burroughes at Watkins Solicitors: mburroughes@watkinssolicitors.co.uk - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/bristol/domestic-abuse-conference-bristol-2026/100001998371007478 - **Event Categories**: business, conferences, nonprofit, charities - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Doors Open At: 9:15 AM - Duration: 7 hours 15 minutes - Location: The Mount Without, Upper Church Lane, Bristol, UK - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 20, max: 70, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Bristol - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: The Mount Without, Upper Church Lane, Bristol, UK - **lat**: 51.4571411 - **long**: -2.5983988 - **full address**: The Mount Without, Upper Church Lane, Bristol, UK, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Domestic Abuse Conference Bristol 2026 - **Image URL**: https://img.evbuc.com/https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.evbuc.com%2Fimages%2F973716003%2F221493799847%2F1%2Foriginal.20250227-185214?auto=format%2Ccompress&q=75&sharp=10&s=b625dd40b68fbe4c6459a66da872401d ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Domestic Abuse Conference Bristol 2026 being held? - **A:** Domestic Abuse Conference Bristol 2026 takes place on Thu, 12 Nov, 2026 at 09:15 am to Thu, 12 Nov, 2026 at 04:30 pm at The Mount Without, Upper Church Lane, Bristol, UK, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Domestic Abuse Conference Bristol 2026? - **A:** Domestic Abuse Conference Bristol 2026 is organized by Watkins Solicitors. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
