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.

Work has started on the new Lookout which is expected to complete in 2-3 weeks. During the building work the Green will be temporarily closed as heavy equipment will be in use. The Millennium Green Lookout replaces the old fort and is the largest project undertaken on the Green since 2000. The Lookout will enable beautiful new vistas for all, a willow playhouse for children and is a substantial investment for which we are still raising funds. If you would like to contribute to this key 25th Anniversary Millennium Green project with a donation, please follow the link below www.millenniumgreen.org.uk/25th.
2025 will mark the 25th Anniversary of the Millennium Green as the grand opening of the Millennium Green took place in June 2000. The Trustees have decided that it would timely to replace the timber fort on the Millennium Green and make this our 25th Anniversary Project.
Over the past few years the fort has been showing its age and has needed a lot of patching up to keep it in place and to keep it safe. Many of the timber post are rotting at the bottom and the overall structural integrity is degrading.
The Trustees have decided to remove the old fort and to replace it with a seating area on top of the remodelled mound so that everyone can enjoy the vista. There will be steps through the landscape leading up to the new stone and timber bench which will be circular so that small groups can gather together. A route will lead on through the landscape to a willow house with openings looking out at varying heights, before connecting back to the existing path.
Work should start on this project in the New Year 2025 and should be complete in time for the 25th Anniversary in 2025.
