OUR VIEW ON BATH ASSEMBLY ROOMS
These elegant rooms were the centre of society life in Georgian times in Bath. It’s thought that Jane Austen frequented the rooms during her time here to dance and enjoy evenings mixing with other well-to-do people. Today the Assembly Rooms are just as magnificent and they’re free to visit. They’re owned by the National Trust but there is also a council run Fashion Museum on the lower floor, for which there is a fee to enter. The Assembly Rooms are a walk up the hill from the centre of Bath – you’ll find them between Bennett Street and Alfred Street near to the Circus.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON BATH ASSEMBLY ROOMS
The Assembly Rooms were designed by John Wood the Younger in 1769 but were bombed in 1942. They were subsequently restored and now tourists can fully appreciate the magnificent rooms as they used to be. You can even get married here! Occasionally some rooms are out of action to visitors because of private functions but, in our opinion, all the rooms are stunning so even seeing just one is worth the walk from the centre of Bath.
