The Assembly Rooms: Bringing a Georgian ball to a building fit for the 21st Century Assembly.

Tom Boden, National Trust’s General Manager for the Bath portfolio will be talking about the restoration and reinvigoration of Bath Assembly Rooms. With the doors now closed until 2027, a £17million project is underway to restore the Rooms to a building fit for 21st century assembly, whilst also creating a brand-new visitor attraction that will add to the Georgian story of Bath. Tom will share his passion for history and Bath, as he talks about the changes taking place inside the Rooms and how the new experience is being developed. He’ll share fascinating facts from the research that shows Bath to be a diverse and thriving city which will come to life when the building reopens to visitors.

Bath Abbey Footprint project : a new design for an ancient monument

Was the subject of the “talk with wine” on March 17th.  It was a fascinating topic, with many different aspects to the renewal, turning an ancient building into a warmer, light filled space with specially designed amenities for the choir. Over 50 people attended this excellent talk and many commented that they would visit the Abbey and now look out for the different features, which they had previously been unaware of.
