Bath does business with a bit more charm than your average city. Maybe it’s the golden glow of the Bath stone, the way the streets invite a stroll rather than a sprint, or the fact that even the most formal meeting spots here manage to feel welcoming. Here, you’ll find Georgian townhouses with grand chandeliers, riverside venues with sweeping views, and historic spaces that have hosted gatherings for centuries. Need a private dining space where deals are sealed over fine food? A fun bar where the corporate world can loosen its tie a little? This city has it all. Plus, you’re never far from a proper pint, a good meal, or a soak in the city’s famous thermal waters—if the Romans could combine business with pleasure here, why shouldn’t you? Browse our top corporate event venues here.
For big conferences or company-wide meetings, Komedia stands out, with space for up to 615 people and flexible layout options. The Sepoy Club offers rooms for up to 250 guests and provides catering packages, making it a strong option for formal events. If you want a unique setting, St James Wine Vaults has space for 180 standing and 160 seated, offering a characterful venue with a relaxed feel.
For large-scale corporate events, it’s best to book at least six months in advance, particularly if you’re looking at high-demand venues.. For smaller meetings and private dining spaces, venues like Inigo Business Centres or No.15 by GuestHouse often have more flexible booking windows, but booking a few months ahead ensures you get your preferred date.
Bath is a popular tourist destination, so it’s worth avoiding peak holiday seasons. Spring and early autumn are ideal for corporate events, offering good weather and fewer crowds. November and January tend to have more venue availability and often better rates. If you’re planning a corporate Christmas party, book well in advance, as many venues are snapped up early for festive events.
