About this space

Showering Pavilion is a Hall in The Bath & West Showground defined by a large clear-span interior that supports staging and production setups.

Design: The space is a large, industrial-style hall with high exposed roof trusses, plain vertical walls and a broad, flat floor that reads as functional and adaptable.

Features: The pavilion provides on-site Wi‑Fi and natural daylight. The space has step-free guest access, accessible toilets and wheelchair access, and external music or a bring-your-own DJ is permitted.

Ideal for: Corporate and community groups seeking a formal seated dinner or a staged, presentation-led evening.

What sets it apart: The pavilion has consistently stronger mobile phone signal than other areas of the showground.

What guests say: The pavilion is kept tidy and its toilet facilities are good.
