History

The Guildhall Market is one of the oldest shopping venues in Bath, having served the community for around 800 years. The Market has operated from its current location in some form since at least the 16th century, and as the Guildhall Market from the 1770s. The market acquired its well-known dome in 1863.

Interior

With the advent of supermarkets in Bath, the Guildhall has had to change with the times, but the owners have tried to keep it as traditional as possible.
