The Assembly Rooms have been at the heart of the city's social life since the 18th century. The spectacular Ball Room is the largest Georgian interior in the city. Linking the Ball Room to the elegant Tea Room is the Great Octagon, furnished with paintings by Gainsborough and Hoare. The Ball Room is 30m long and boasts five original crystal chandeliers which reflect rainbows of light onto the powder blue wasll.  The Tea Room is a delightful pillared room which is one of the most popular venues in Bath and by day or night, its row of three Georgian chandeliers sparkle from every facet. The Great Octagon, unique in its shape and symmetry, this yelloe room has four magnificent mantlepieces and four connecting doors with all other rooms. The Card Room lies beyond the Great Octagon, a long thin room added to the Assembly Rooms in 1777. It now makes a convenient bar and can be used for serving refreshments.
