Guildhall - Banqueting Room
About This Bridgerton Filming Location
The magnificent Banqueting Room at Bath Guildhall served as the glamorous Rambury ballroom in Bridgerton Season 1, Episode 2. Built by architect Thomas Baldwin in 1778, this 80-foot-long hall represents the finest Georgian interior in Bath, designed in the style of Robert Adam. The room features soaring ceilings, ornate gilded plasterwork, and three magnificent four-tier chandeliers crafted by Thomas Lovell of Bristol. With its steeply raked musicians' gallery, fluted columns, and portraits of civic worthies, the Banqueting Room perfectly captured the grandeur of Regency-era society gatherings. The green and gold color scheme, decorative friezes, and classical proportions made it an ideal setting for the series' opulent ball scenes.
