Surveying the theatre scene in Bath
Georgian Bath was home to a broad range of shows, theatre displays and entertainment - a legacy and wealth that left Bath city centre with stunning Georgian properties and the architecture that we see now.
Today, Bath still has a wide range of theatres and entertainment available from casinos, live sport, live music, comedy and theatre, dance and ballet performances.
To go hand in hand with Bath’s hot bed of theatre programming, we’re pleased to offer a popular pre theatre dining menu that is available on orders between 5.30pm and 6.30pm, Tuesday to Saturday evening.
We’re a five minute stroll from Bath’s main theatre (the Theatre Royal) and close to several other theatre and entertainment places in Bath city centre. Here’s our round of up some of Bath’s finest theatres and entertainment venues.
