About
The Roman Baths & Pump Room
The Roman Baths & Pump Room is one of Bath’s most iconic event venues, combining the extraordinary atmosphere of the ancient Roman Baths with the Georgian elegance of the Pump Room. Located in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage city, the venue offers a unique setting for corporate dinners, drinks receptions, product launches, networking events, Christmas parties, weddings and private celebrations.
Evening events can begin with drinks around the torchlit waters of the Great Bath before guests move upstairs to the Pump Room or Terrace & Reception Hall for dinner, dancing and entertainment. During the daytime, smaller meeting rooms are available for business events, creating options from intimate board meetings through to receptions for 320 guests. Catering is provided by Searcys.

Why Hire
Few UK venues provide an event experience comparable to the Roman Baths & Pump Room. A drinks reception beside the torchlit Great Bath gives guests access to one of Britain’s most recognisable historic landmarks before dinner or entertainment in the Georgian Pump Room.
Despite its historic setting, the venue also offers considerable flexibility. Smaller rooms accommodate daytime meetings for up to 40, while evening events can cater for receptions of up to 320 and substantial dinners and parties. This makes the venue particularly strong for high-profile corporate entertaining, awards, launches and events where the setting itself needs to make an impression.
