Hire the perfect venue in Bath

Bath is Somerset’s picturesque capital and has gained an international reputation for its spa credentials. It’s not all hot springs and cucumber eyes, though – Bath is also host to a fantastic range of great venues that you can book for all sorts of events. From meeting rooms and conferences to hiring out a whole bar, Bath has it all.

How to Find the Best Venues in Bath

You might want to hire a venue that is outside the city or a space with a central location for your city dwelling guests. Perhaps you'll want to book a venue that has excellent transport links. Or you might be looking to book a great location where you can host a corporate meeting, an art exhibition, or a wedding reception. The truth is that whatever your event is, Bath's best venues will take your booking – if you get the planning right.

How do you plan right? The key to this is getting in early. Bath's best venues will often be booked weeks in advance (months when it comes to super busy periods like Christmas and New Year's eve). Get your event brief in as soon as you've decided on the preferences to make your Bath event perfect.

Which brings us to...

Setting out criteria is a great way to get ahead of the crowd. Consider the number of guests, whether you'll want food, drink or both. Ask around about allergies and dietary requirements and convey these to the venue – your guests will appreciate it.

If you're having a band or DJ, the Bath venue will need to know the technology needs, including power outlets. Pay extra attention to the location of the stage and the audio equipment. For things like weddings and religious events, you'll have to consider where you want to hold the ceremony - luckily Bath does not lack beautiful historic buildings.
