A stunning Georgian building on the high street in the heart of the City
It was built in 1775 and has served the City for almost 350 years.
Home to the Guildhall Reliefs, the carved silhouette statues on the corners of the first floor of the building.
The Guildhall Market is also housed in the building.

The guildhall is a lovely building with lots of useful things to do there. My favourite part of the building is that is attached to the amazing indoor market where lots of independent traders have there very own stalls with many hidden treasures! Well worth a visit

Grand setting for a wedding, very spacious. Staff at Guildhall bent over backwards to be helpful. It's in central Bath so is handy for guests.

Designed in 1776 by Thomas Baldwin, the Guildhall is a eye pleasing building with a circular section. The circular section houses an daily indoor market.

The Guildhall is a true treasure! We went along to hear a spectacular performance by the Bath Camerata. What an impressive building, you must see it when in Bath!

I have organised event there this year. The place is beautiful and staff friendly, food very good but acoustics and It support was very poor. We have to set up all our self and asked all the time to someone from reception to help. The rest of the building was tatty should be keep well maintained if this is presentation of the town. I am not recommended for professional event.

We visited the Guildhall in connection with the Jane Austin festival.
There was a market and a show, but just looking at the beautiful rooms is wortwhile.

We attended a friends wedding here. The banqueting hall is just lovely. The rest is pretty tatty and in need of a bit of work but still the perfect wedding venue.
