The Assembly Rooms

About

Please note that The Assembly Rooms will close to the public from 24 February 2025 until 2027, while construction work takes place to create a new visitor experience. 

The Bath Assembly Rooms is a Grade 1 listed building designed by John Wood the Younger in the 18th century. The New or Upper Rooms as they were known, provided a place for people to meet and enjoy daily entertainments including balls, concerts, teas and gambling. ‘Polite society’ flocked to the Assembly Rooms, including the novelists Jane Austen and Charles Dickens, and the painter Thomas Gainsborough.

Bath Assembly Rooms were at the heart of fashionable Georgian society, the perfect venue for entertainment. When completed in 1771, they were described as 'the most noble and elegant of any in the kingdom'.

The Assembly Rooms is currently open for special events and tours only, and will close to the public on 24 February 2025.
