Komedia

Komedia Bath is located in the centre of the city in the much-loved Beau Nash Picture House, reinstating it to its former glory as a venue for entertainment and pleasure.

The Komedia philosophy is to offer audiences a complete night out: with good food, drink and live entertainment - from a diverse mix of genres from stand-up comedy to acoustic music and cabaret - at its heart.

Spa Revival

Located in the heart of the world Heritage site, Thermae Bath Spa has become one of the unmissable sights and experiences of any visit to Bath. This unique spa is the only natural thermal spa in the UK and uses the same waters which the Celts and Romans enjoyed over 2000 years ago.

A remarkable combination of 'old and new' where the historic spa buildings blend with the contemporary architecture of the New Royal Bath, Thermae offers 2-hour or 4-hour spa sessions. These include the thermal waters of the Minerva Bath, a series of aromatic steam rooms and the open-air rooftop pool with spectacular views across the city's skyline.

Thermae Bath Spa offers something a little different for that special gathering such as a reunion party. The function room can be used for receptions, meetings and private lunches.

Or choose the intimate, stand alone 18th Century Cross Bath for the chance to bathe in the natural thermal mineral-rich waters. Champagne and canapé receptions are available at the Cross Bath for groups of up to 12.

Thermae Bath Spa is open all year (excluding Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day) from 9am to 10pm.
