About the event

30th September 2021 marks the 250th anniversary of the opening of Bath’s magnificent Assembly Rooms. As the queen of the eighteenth century spas, Bath’s healing waters attracted far more than the seriously ill and the worried well: the town offered the visiting Company luxury, culture, diversion and pleasure. The evening’s entertainment will comprise a PUBLIC LECTURE, a Historical Introduction to the 1771 RIDOTTO, 18th century DANCE displays, & a DRINKS reception.
