Fashion Museum Bath

A world-class collection of modern and historic clothing is housed at the Fashion Museum Bath, which opened in 2008. On the 23rd of May, 1963, the Assembly Rooms were transformed into the Museum of Costume. Doris Langley Moore who was a designer, collector, writer, and historian, was the driving force behind the establishment of the museum, which was endowed by her famed private collection of clothing to the city of Bath. Every year, they have around 100,000 visits to the museum. Their customers are a diverse group that includes tourists, fashion experts, students, and locals.

Some of the gear is in functioning order, and there are frequent demonstrations of the equipment available. The use of audio guides is completely free, & guided tours are offered whenever feasible. The exhibition ‘Bath at Work: 2000 Years of Earning a Living’ provides an overview of the city’s evolution, while an exhibition on inventiveness and the landscape of working Bath, titled ‘Bath in Particular’, is on display in the Hudson Gallery on the ground floor of the building.

The Dark Horse

Friends and family have worked tirelessly to construct this establishment from the bottom up. In order to do this, they set out to create a setting that is inviting and comfortable, while also providing the finest standard of both beverages and service that can be found anywhere else in the world. Whenever feasible, the menu is composed of products and ingredients sourced from the surrounding area. In addition to using various English wines, liqueurs, and spirits, they utilise only beers from the South-West region of the country. Whenever feasible, the fruit and herbs used are sourced as near to Bath as conceivable, with many of them foraged from lush and abundant hills which surround the beautiful city.
