Christmas at Bath Assembly Rooms
In 2023 you could step back from the hustle and bustle of Christmas shopping and enjoy a moment of calm in the historic Assembly Rooms.
Christmas 2023 has now finished at Bath Assembly Rooms
The information in this article is about the Christmas offer for 2023. We hope you enjoyed visiting and please return later this year to find out what will be happening during the festive period for 2024.
Christmas in the Ball Room
For 2023 we'll be creating a memorable Christmas in the ballroom, with the addition of fully decorated Christmas trees. Light will fill the room as the decorations twinkle and sparkle under the chandeliers. The festive scene will be complete with presents wrapped under the tree and soft Christmas music playing. A magical moment to capture a selfie. On selected weekends a live pianist will be playing in the Ball Room.
Get crafty in the Great Octagon
Whilst the Ball Room will be decorated for Christmas, the Great Octagon will provide a chance to get crafty. There will be a community tree in the middle of the room and you can create a decoration to hang and write a letter to post to Father Christmas. Try making an origami Christmas tree, pom poms or just colour in some seasonal pictures.
See the Tea Room
The Tea Room will be open for visitors to enjoy a walk around, admire the architecture and chandeliers. We'll also have a small display about the future plans for Bath Assembly Rooms as we move towards a new Georgian experience.
Christmas is free for National Trust members and under 12s. Non-member charge of £4 per adult.
