Accessible, Inclusive & Welcoming Events

At Bath’s Historic Venues, we want our venues to be as accessible as possible for everyone to enjoy and experience. Whether you're planning a wedding or attending a special event, our team is here to help and welcome you.

The Roman Baths

The Roman Baths, a remarkable 2,000-year-old site and prestigious Grade I Listed Scheduled Ancient Monument, has been proudly recognised by Euan’s Guide as one of the top ten wheelchair accessible wedding venues in the UK. Despite its archaeological remains and multi-level layout, it continues to lead the way in inclusive tourism, earning numerous awards for accessibility. You can explore these accolades on the Roman Baths website.

Our caterers

If you have any specific dietary requirements or allergies, please let their team know when you book. This helps them prepare your meal separately and safely, ensuring your needs are fully met.

Website accessibility

We ensure our website is easy for everyone to use and our marketing materials are easy to read. This means using readable fonts, clear colour contrasts, and accessible images so that everyone can navigate and understand our content. We regularly test our website to make sure it meets the highest accessibility standards, aiming for a perfect score using tools like Google Lighthouse. We’re always looking for ways to improve.
