This building served as the Bath town hall in 1775. I was very impressed by this 18th century rotund municipal building built in Bath stone. The distinguishing feature of this grand building is that it has a beautiful band of classic statues in relief over its façade. The interior has a grand banqueting hall with Corinthian columns, regal chandeliers and glorious artworks. There is an elaborate staircase to access the first floor. Every year the International Bath Music Festival is held here. You can see the figure of Lady Justice standing proudly over the pediment of this wonderful building.I loved the building’s classic façade.

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.

We had the reception of a friends wedding here. It’s a beautiful venue and is well worth a visit. Being bang inthe middle of town aswell really makes it a treat.
