Booking three to four months ahead is recommended if you are planning for busy seasons like summer weekends or December holiday parties. For midweek events or smaller gatherings, you may secure a good space with a month’s notice. Larger venues and places with a late-night licence usually fill up faster, especially on Fridays and Saturdays.

Bath venues must comply with local licensing laws, which often mean last orders by midnight unless the space has a special late license. If you want live music or a DJ, check that the venue is licensed for amplified sound. Some historic or residential areas have stricter noise policies, so confirming these details before signing is crucial. Always ask about any security staff requirements if you are expecting a larger crowd.
