I think client-side scripting here is unavoidable (although if anyone knows 
otherwise I'm most definitely interested in hearing about it).

Depending on how many counties and venues you need to include, you could get 
away with just dumping them into a Javascript array and doing everything that 
way. This would work well for a smaller setup - say 5 counties, each with only 
a handful of venues - but won't be good from a code maintenance POV.

If you're covering all UK counties and you have tens or hundreds of venues per 
county, you'll need server-side help to build the lists: chained selectors, an 
iframe with the venue selector in it, or AJAX.

Chained selectors with PHP:

Iframes (not in XHTML strict IIRC):

You know it makes sense :-)
