Season 1 · Daphne & Simon, Duke of Hastings

Daphne Bridgerton in Bath — Season 1 filming locations

Five principal locations: the Assembly Rooms (Daphne's debut ball), the Holburne Museum (Lady Danbury's residence), Royal Crescent (the Bridgerton home exterior), Sydney Gardens (promenade scenes), and Great Pulteney Street (carriages and street sequences). All are free to visit from outside; most have free access.

Where each Season 1 scene was filmed

  1. The Assembly Rooms

    BA1 2QH

    Daphne's debut ball; early scenes with Simon, Duke of Hastings

    The Assembly Rooms ballroom in Bath with original 1771 chandeliers, where Daphne Bridgerton's debut ball scenes were filmed

    The Assembly Rooms hosted Daphne Bridgerton's debut across Season 1. The 105-foot ballroom — with chandeliers dating to 1771 — is where Daphne and Simon's arrangement first becomes publicly visible. The production used the actual ballroom without set dressing; the chandeliers, the proportions, and the acoustics are original to the period the show depicts. The card room and octagon room visible in background shots are also original to the 1771 build. Main spaces are free to enter during museum hours.

  2. Holburne Museum

    BA2 4DB

    Lady Danbury's residence; Season 1 introductions

    The Holburne Museum Bath, used as Lady Danbury's London residence throughout Season 1 of Bridgerton

    Lady Danbury's residence throughout Season 1 — the place where Daphne's arrangement with Simon is first orchestrated. The Holburne Museum's Palladian facade at the end of Great Pulteney Street photographs identically to the way it appears on screen; the portico and steps are the same ones used for exterior arrival shots. The museum collection — 18th-century portraits and silverware from the period the show is set in — adds context to the visit. Admission applies to the interior; the exterior and grounds are free.

  3. Sydney Gardens

    BA2 6NT

    Promenade scenes; Daphne and Simon's public courtship

    Sydney Gardens Bath where Daphne and Simon's promenade scenes were filmed in Bridgerton Season 1

    Sydney Gardens hosted the promenade sequences in Season 1 — the public walks where Daphne and Simon's courtship becomes the subject of Lady Whistledown's commentary. The canal ironwork bridge used in wide shots of the gardens is accessible from the main gate. Jane Austen wrote about these same paths from Sydney Place, two streets east; the social ritual of the promenade she describes is the same one Bridgerton depicts.

  4. Great Pulteney Street

    BA2 4AD

    Carriage arrivals; street promenades

    Great Pulteney Street Bath, the Georgian boulevard used for carriage and promenade sequences in Bridgerton Season 1

    Great Pulteney Street carried the carriage sequences and street promenades across Season 1. At 1,100 feet long and 100 feet wide — wider than any equivalent London street — it gave the production team a continuous Georgian streetscape without augmentation. Walk it from the Laura Place fountain westward to sense the scale and pace of the street-level scenes.

  5. Royal Crescent

    BA1 2LS

    Bridgerton family home exterior; establishing shots

    Royal Crescent Bath, the Georgian arc used as the Bridgerton family home exterior in Season 1

    The Royal Crescent appears as the Bridgerton family home's exterior in Season 1 — the 30-house arc that John Wood the Younger completed in 1774. The sloping lawn in front served as a garden setting. The central section of the crescent, between houses 13 and 17, gives the widest unobstructed view of the full arc, matching most production stills. Number 1 Royal Crescent is a furnished museum (£14 entry); Number 16 is the Royal Crescent Hotel, the most directly Bridgerton-adjacent overnight stay in Bath.
