Old Theatre Royal

Set in the heart of Bath, the Old Theatre Royal offers historic rooms for organisers planning weddings, private celebrations, formal dinners and corporate events. The Grade II listed building has served many roles over its long history, and its original character gives gatherings a distinctive setting close to the city’s hotels, shops and transport links.

The Masonic Hall is the principal event space, with an adjoining ante-room that can be used for drinks receptions, breakout time or dancing. For more intimate occasions, organisers can consider the Regency Dining Room or the Garrett Library. The building also has smaller rooms for meetings. Depending on the occasion and layout, spaces can accommodate conferences, seminars, training days, product launches, awards dinners, performances and private parties.

Couples can use the rooms for wedding celebrations, including a wedding breakfast in the Masonic Hall, with the adjacent ante-room available for a reception or dancing. For corporate bookings, the venue offers Wi-Fi and presentation equipment, including a PA and projector. On-site kitchens provide freshly prepared food, with options ranging from light buffets to served dinners. Licensed bars serve the event spaces, and the venue can connect organisers with its local supplier network.

The Old Theatre Royal also hosts performances and makes its historic building available for guided tours, which include the Masonic Museum in the vaults. Accessibility features include a lift to several event areas, accessible toilets and a hearing loop in the hall. Organisers can contact the venue to discuss room availability, layouts, catering and event requirements.
