About Assembly Rooms
The Upper Assembly Rooms built 1769-1771 by John Wood the Younger, where Jane Austen danced and attended concerts during Bath's Georgian heyday. Now houses the Fashion Museum, one of the best collections of historic dress in Britain with over 100,000 objects spanning 400 years. Entry costs GBP 9.50 and includes access to both the grand assembly rooms and the museum.
