Painshill Park - Temple of Bacchus
About This Bridgerton Filming Location
The Temple of Bacchus at Painshill Park provided an elegant classical backdrop for Bridgerton's outdoor social gatherings and romantic encounters. This neoclassical folly, completed in 1762, was designed based on the Maison carrée at Nîmes, France, possibly by renowned architect Robert Adam. The temple features Roman Doric columns and was originally intended to display Hamilton's statue of Bacchus purchased in Rome. After falling into ruin, it was meticulously rebuilt in 2018 with a cast of the original Bacchus statue installed in 2008. The temple's pristine white columns and classical proportions created the perfect atmosphere for Bridgerton's Regency-era scenes of leisure and contemplation. Its prominent position within the landscape garden makes it a focal point for visitors exploring the grounds where the Bridgerton cast filmed their promenading scenes.
