The Great Bath is continuously filled with hot flowing water. It rises up bubbling and hot from deep underground warmed by the heat of the earth’s core. On cooler days, ducks occasionally pop in for a dip to warm up.
From the first century AD to the twenty first century, people have been drawn to this place for entertainment and relaxation. What remains today is a remarkable sequence of ancient, medieval and later structures that give testimony to the continuous use of hot water here over nearly 2000 years. The ancient Celts worshipped on the site and the Romans built a grand religious spa complex, much of which remains today. The grand Pump Room, built in the 1790s was the focal point of Georgian society and Jane Austen observed people and fashions from within the building.
What could be more romantic and atmospheric than exchanging your vows amid the flickering torchlight and rising steam from the waters of the Great Bath? Guests can gather on the 2000 year old paving and enjoy witnessing your marriage.
