Bath Event and Catering Equipment Hire
Bath is one of England's busiest cities for events, drawing businesses and private clients from across the South West for conferences, award ceremonies, formal dinners and weddings throughout the year. The city's Georgian architecture sets it apart, and venues take full advantage of it: the Assembly Rooms on Bennett Street regularly hosts banquets and receptions in its grand ballroom, while the Bath Guildhall Banqueting Room on High Street seats up to 200 guests for civic dinners and corporate functions. Bath Racecourse on Lansdown Hill runs a spring-to-autumn season of race days, many with marquee dining and corporate hospitality packages. The Roman Baths on Stall Street is available for exclusive evening receptions, offering one of the most unusual corporate event settings in the country, and Prior Park Landscape Garden sees summer outdoor events on its sloped grounds. The University of Bath and Bath Spa University together produce a substantial events calendar across the academic year, covering graduation ceremonies, research conferences, formal dinners and end-of-year celebrations.
