It was a long way for us to go to see this place. It wasn't worth our trip. All the rooms look the same and the only interesting part of the building was probably the fashion house which is not part of National Trust property and there is an entrance fee. We only found that out when we got there. Rather disappointing. The rooms look impressive in photos but in real life they all look almost the same. The red phone box which belong to National Trust needs looking after. Not sure who is responsible for the notice boards across the road. They are a disgrace to the city.
Beautiful venue, especially interesting if you like Jane Austen as she visited the assembly rooms and pump room and writes about them in her books.
The Bath Assembly Rooms are located smack dab in the middle of the city centre. It is a Grade I listed building, designed in 1769 by you guessed it, John Wood, the Younger! It was completed in 1771 and was the meeting site for balls, concerts, and gambling events. You can now take a tour through the assembly rooms as a member of the public but back in the day was frequently visited by the likes of Jane Austen and Charles Dickens. The Bath Assembly Rooms are open to visitors most days but are closed from time to time for private functions. Make sure you check the website before you go if they are open. Entry is free! There is a fee to enter the Fashion Museum inside but it is only £10 per person.
I really liked this National Trust owned building. The National Trust don't run this the local council do, it's free for all to see it but if you want to also see the fashion museum you need to pay. They still have a guidebook. We parked on the park and ride and got the bus in so parking wasn't much of an issue. It was easy to find. I really thought the chandeliers were breathtaking. Really stunning. I was able to go into each of the room although one was being used for a function so I just saw it behind a rope. I didn't mind this but if you go expecting to have a good look in the room it may be best to ring ahead. There is not very much of anything in the rooms but I didn't think this detracted from the experience as I could imagine people dancing in the time of Jane Austin I have posted some pictures including one of the boxes that were used to carry people to and from the assembly rooms. I love the thought of being carried around like that. It's well worth a visit. I would recommend.
Nice places to visit. Free which is a bonus. Apart from the fashion museum, which does charge a fee. Which I didn't see. The rooms are nice and large, with most looking very similar. Meaning that there is chandelier or three, and a wooden floor, with a different layouts. And a different room shape. Once I started to walk around, my wow of each room, was less and less. Looking around the room, it looks like there could have been more places to walk around. But is sadly that is closed off to the public.
Must see. The museum of fashion housed inside is well worth it with must visit gift shops . The assembly rooms feature great halls decorated from Georgian days featuring amazing 1.5 million pound chanadliers. Now serves community and as event wedding forum. Weekday tours. Professional staff,
Really really splendid place. Bit pricey and that is why only 4 start. Adult ticket is £17.50 at the time of writing this review. That said, you will spend there at least an hour and im the price of the ticket you have included free audio guide. The place shows you wonder of ancient building skills. It opens your eyes on how builders in that age were able to builds such structures with limited tools they had at that time. Also, sadly the culture of bathing left with last Romans leaving the island. All in all, great place worth recommending it to anyone thinking to visit Bath.
old atmosphere of Regency time dance is still there. you can imagine woman with fancy dress looking around to be danced by fancy dandy. Free entrance to visit the three main rooms: the ballroom, the tea room and the play room. A cafe is available and inside you can visit paying a ticket the Fashion museum.
Great fashion museum with interactive experiences, loved the recent shoe exhibition!
Not something crazy, but these rooms are big beautiful assembly rooms, or say a place for local community to catch up. Have large ceilings, and are free to visit. They also offer to book these halls for ceremonies.
