The Assembly Rooms, on their completion in 1771, were described as the 'most noble and elegant of any in the Kingdom'. The original Whitefriars crystal chandeliers are still a sparkling highlight of the building along with splendid portraits by Gainsborough, Hoare and Ramsey. Today the Assembly Rooms, located in the city centre, serve as Bath's premier conference venue, providing a prestigious setting for up to 500 delegates with additional space for catering and exhibitors. These stunning period rooms also make an ideal choice for a formal banquet or a larger reception.

Audio-visual facilities are available and all rooms have black-out. Our experienced and dedicated team will help you ensure that your event exceeds expectations.

The BallroThe Ballroom 100 ft long - the largest Georgian interior in Bath - and boasts five original crystal chandeliers. The Ball Room is the preferred venue for people requiring a plenary session of up to 500 people. Alternatively, a modest trade exhibition can be held here if a conference for up to 250 people is held in the Tea Room. Alongside the Ball Room there is a small room suitable as a VIP room, office or green room.

The Tea Room is a delightful pillared room is one of the 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 is a perfect octagon! It is 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.

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 or lunches.

ThThe Museum of Costume is a stimulating venueor a pre-dinner drinks reception of up to 100 people, the Museum of Costume allows visitors to reflect on bygone eras in fascinating surroundings.
