Historic house / BATH

No.1 Royal Crescent

Step inside a Georgian townhouse to explore furnished rooms and the contrasting lives of its residents and servants. Film and sound bring the household story into the visit; choose this when the interiors interest you as much as Bath’s famous façades.

Before you go

Book a preferred entry time and check the museum calendar before setting out. Seeing the Royal Crescent from outside is free, but this house museum has its own admission. Check whether a temporary exhibition needs a different ticket.

The practical details

Where to find it: 1 Royal Crescent, Bath BA1 2LR, at the eastern end of the Crescent.
Directions and arrival information ↗
Tickets and booking: Advance online booking is recommended. Check the opening calendar, particularly for Mondays and planned closures, and whether your selected ticket includes an exhibition.
Access and getting around: There is a step-free route using a lift, but it omits four rooms; a virtual tour is available for those spaces. Contact the museum about access or a quieter visit before booking. The experience normally uses film and sound.
Official access information ↗
Visiting with children: Prams and buggies cannot go through the house. A family trail is available; ask staff about baby-changing facilities. Check the current accompanied-child ticket conditions rather than assuming a standard family price.

Practical information checked 14 September 2026. Confirm anything essential to your visit with the venue.
