Venue Description:
The Pump Room Complex:
Situated at the centre of the World Heritage City, the Roman Baths and Pump Room is without doubt one of the most delightful historic buildings in the country.
The Pump Room
Built in 1795 by Thomas Baldwin and John Palmer as the focal point of Georgian society, the Pump Room is still the social heart of the city and spa water still flows from the fountain overlooking the natural hot spring.
The Pump Room operates as a restaurant during the day but is available for private hire in the evening.
Roman Baths
As darkness falls, the ruins of this vast Roman building are an awesome sight. By the light of flickering torches, your guests can walk on 2000 year old pavements as they drink in the atmosphere over a glass of champagne. This is a magical place for an evening they will never forget.
Terrace
Twenty feet above Roman level, the Victorians built a viewing terrace on all four sides of their prime discovery, the Great Bath. The northern range of this Terrace is now fully enclosed and is available to hire in the evening. Seated at round tables of ten, eighty people can dine here. Combine dinner with a drinks reception in the Roman Baths or dancing in the Reception Hall for an unforgettable evening.
Reception Hall
This room was built in 1895 as a concert room and is now used as the main visitor entrance to the Roman Baths. It is available for private hire from 19.00 and is not available in July and August.
It is a good venue for a disco when having dinner on the terrace, or for extra tables if the Pump Room proves to be too small for your needs.
The Assembly Rooms:
The Assembly Rooms have been at the heart of the city’s social life since the 18th century. The spectacular Ball Room is the largest Georgian interior in the city and accommodates up to 500 people comfortably. Linking the Ball Room to the elegant Tea Room is the Great Octagon, furnished with paintings by Gainsborough and Hoare.
The Ball Room
This room is 30m long - the largest Georgian interior in Bath - and boasts five original crystal chandeliers which reflect rainbows of light on to the powder-blue walls. Balls for a thousand people or more were once held here. The Ball Room is a delightful venue for a concert, and is best suited to the performance of an ensemble or small orchestra.
The Tea Room
This delightful pillared room is one of our most popular venues. On a sunny day it is bathed in light from its south-facing windows and by day or night, its row of three Georgian chandeliers sparkle from every facet. This warmth creates an inviting venue for a dinner or dinner dance for a hundred or more guests. It is also well suited to a conference for up to 250 people and is licensed for civil weddings.
The Octagon
A perfect octagon, unique in its shape and symmetry, this yellow room has four elegant mantelpieces - which hirers often choose to adorn with flowers - and four doors connecting with all the other rooms. It is not hard to see why it has become the most popular venue in Bath for a civil wedding.
Card Room
Beyond the Great Octagon lies the Card Room, a long thin room added to the Assembly Rooms in 1777 to give card players a more private venue in which to meet. It now makes a very convenient bar and can be used for serving refreshments.
The Guildhall:
The Guildhall is situated in the very heart of Bath and is an ideal venue for dinners, weddings, meetings and small to medium-sized conferences.
The Guildhall is available for hire during the day and in the evening. Its period rooms make it a sought-after venue for filming costume drama.
If you are getting married in the Guildhall, the nearby Parade Gardens provide an excellent location for those important family and friend photos.
