From a mythical council meeting beside the steaming waters to a glamorous New Year’s Eve Ball, the 2,000-year-old landmark will be transformed into a stage for storytelling, mystery, and music.

On 18 November, the Great Bath becomes the setting for a truly unique performance. Lost Mythos presents a mythical parish council meeting, weaving together music, poetry, folklore and comedy in a magical evening perfect for fans of history and the unexpected.

Back by popular demand, A Major Murder: A Roman Baths Murder Mystery invites guests to step back to 1897 on 3 December and 20 February. Help solve the mysterious death of Major Charles Davis in this immersive whodunnit experience, set within the ancient monument.

The ever-popular Silent Disco series also returns on 7 November and 6 February, offering a feel-good night of dancing in one of the world’s most iconic heritage venues. With three channels of music and a complimentary drink to start the evening, it’s a party like no other.

As the festive season approaches, the adjacent Pump Room Restaurant will host Christmas Party Nights on 28 November and 11 December, complete with a torch-lit drinks reception and a three-course meal. The celebrations culminate in a dazzling New Year’s Eve Ball, where guests can ring in 2026 in true Georgian style.

Councillor Paul Roper, Cabinet Member for Economic and Cultural Sustainable Development at Bath & North East Somerset Council, says:

“These after-dark events offer exciting ways for residents and visitors to experience this treasured heritage site. I hope that there will be something for everyone this autumn and winter, allowing them to enjoy The Roman Baths from a new perspective.”
