Guildhall

Boasting the finest Georgian interiors in Bath, the Guildhall is a stunning backdrop for wedding parties, large or small. It has two ornate ceremony rooms and a grand Banqueting Room, giving you the freedom to continue your celebrations on-site or take a short stroll to the nearby Roman Baths & Pump Room for your evening reception.

You have a choice of two ceremony rooms: the Council Chamber, with its dramatic dark wood, fixed seating, and marble columns, or the classically beautiful Brunswick Room, which offers plenty of scope for customisation.

The Banqueting Room, the largest room in the Guildhall, is decorated with intricate cornicing, glittering chandeliers, and royal portraits. It is a stately room and with the option to choose all your own suppliers, it is a surprisingly versatile venue for wedding ceremonies or receptions. The Banqueting Room can accommodate up to 200 guests for a seated dinner, although this number reduces should you wish to add a stage and space for a dance floor.

Adjoining this grand room is the Aix-en-Provence Room, an inviting smaller space perfectly suited to act as a bar area.

Although there is no accommodation on site, Bath offers various options to suit all styles, from luxurious hotels to charming guesthouses; your guests will find the perfect choice in this celebrated city.

The Guildhall allows flexibility in choosing your catering. The venue has a list of trusted caterers who are familiar with the Guildhall and its kitchen and have been endorsed by previous clients.

As part of Bath & North East Somerset Council, which declared a Climate Emergency in 2019, the organisation is proud to lead by example in reducing environmental impact and conserving natural resources.

When hiring one of its venues, clients also help conserve the museum collections, including one of the UK’s most iconic historic sites – The Roman Baths. Its designated collection of outstanding significance is preserved for future generations thanks to this support.

The organisation operates as a redistributive heritage business. After investing in the future of the historic properties and objects under its care, any remaining profit is used to help support those who need it most across Bath & North East Somerset. Museum ticket sales, purchases made in its shops, and venue hire income all contribute to funding social care initiatives that support vulnerable and disadvantaged children and adults.

Bath offers an enchanting blend of history and modern sophistication, making it a dream wedding location. From the Roman Baths and medieval Abbey to Georgian streets and lush countryside, the city brims with beauty and charm.

Bath is well-connected and easily accessible from various cities. The venue itself, located on the High Street in central Bath, is easily accessible by foot and public transport. City centre car parks are located nearby.
