Baths Historic Venues

About the venue

An inspiring location enhances any business event and Bath’s Historic Venues’ world-renowned spaces certainly top the polls for atmosphere.

They are, after all, the venues for which this beautiful city is so famous. Bath is a small and walkable city, with easy access by road and train to London, Bristol and beyond with the local airport only 15 miles away. Situated at the heart of the World Heritage site, Bath’s Historic Venues boast some of the City’s finest architecture, ranging from the ancient Roman Baths & Georgian Pump Room to the magnificent Assembly Rooms which were declared as the ‘finest in the Land’ when they were first opened in 1791. Ancient and beautifully preserved they may be, but did you know that a busy schedule of modern business events take place all year round in these venues? The Roman Baths & Pump Room won a Gold award for Venue and Business Tourism in the Bristol, Bath and Somerset Tourism Awards 2017. When the bustling museum has closed, the doors open for gala dinners, awards ceremonies, concerts and parties. Guests can enjoy a glass of Champagne on the 2000 year old paving surrounding the atmospheric Roman Baths before making their way to the Pump Room, once frequented by Jane Austen, to feast on delicious food prepared by esteemed caterers Searcys. The Assembly Rooms is Bath’s most adaptable venue space, with a beautifully preserved Georgian interior and a capacity of 500. Four interconnecting rooms give plenty of scope for a conference, exhibition or awards ceremony and a small south facing garden is perfect for a drinks reception. Excellent AV and free WiFi is available and, although bathed in natural light, the venue has full blackout facilities. The Guildhall is another stunning venue in the heart of the city that is perfect for a conference, with its large Banqueting Room and collection of smaller break-out spaces.
