Full Description
We have three very unique locations for civil ceremonies. The Temple of Minerva - a hidden gem in the tranquil setting of Bath Botanical Gardens, Royal Victoria Park Bandstand with views of the stunning Royal Crescent and Parade Gardens with a choice of the Edwardian Bandstand or riverside Colonnades central to the UNESCO World Heritage City of Bath with wonderful views off Pulteney Bridge, City spires and Bath Abbey.
Each venue is licensed for civil ceremonies and has an adjacent lawn area which makes them perfect locations for marquees.

Everyone is welcome
A beautiful venue! My wife and I got married here in December 2019 and it was the perfect setting for our wedding ceremony. The staff were very kind and helped to make everyone feel welcome.

Thanks to all the Team
We had a wonderful day at the Temple of Minerva and want to thank all the team for making it so easy.
All the venue team we worked with from the very start of the booking have been well informed, friendly and responsive and a delight to work with.
All the staff on the day were helpful and friendly and we are so pleased we chose Temple of Minerva for our wedding.
Thanks again

" it was all perfect"
‘What an amazing venue, nestled in the beautiful Botanical Gardens in Victoria Park. It was the perfect setting for our wedding. From the walk across the bridge and up the ‘aisle’ to the atmosphere in the Temple, it was all perfect’

Thanks again from the both of us!!
Many thanks for all you did for us on Saturday (and before!!) as you really helped in giving us the best day ever for our wedding. We both enjoyed every minute of it and all our guests were stunned with how beautiful the temple and the gardens are and the way in which you set them up.
