Explore Bath Assembly Rooms

The doors will be open for visitors to step inside and see the principal rooms of this historical building.

  • Booking not needed

Do you want to see inside the Assembly Rooms? Or walk in the footsteps of Jane Austen? Or perhaps marvel at the chandeliers? Whatever your reason for wanting to visit, Bath Assembly Rooms is offering explorer sessions so you can come in and look around.

Step inside to play games in the Great Octagon, explore the history of the building, take a look back at snippets from events over the last two years and see the plans for the future of this building. We’re inviting you to leave your memories of the property - maybe you met your partner at a ball, came to see the Fashion Museum or brought the family for a crafting day. Whatever you remember, we’d love to hear it. Simply grab a sticky note and pen, write down what’s special about Bath Assembly Rooms to you and add it to the display.

There will also be a community display including the World Mental Health Day photography exhibition for you to see.

Feel free to wonder around the Rooms, see the chandeliers, read the information boards or chat to one of the room guides. There will be pop-up talks from our expert guides for those looking for a little more history about the building.

Free for National Trust members - please bring your membership card. Free for under 12s. £4 for non-members.
