2025-07-21 00:00 - 2025-08-31 23:59 | The Roman Baths, Abbey Churchyard, Bath, BA1 1LZ, United Kingdom
This summer, The Roman Baths will open after hours with the launch of Summer Lates, a six-week programme of evening openings from 21 July to 31 August. Visitors are invited to explore the historic site in a new light—literally—with torchlit ambience, a pop-up bar, and a relaxed, atmospheric setting every night of the week. On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings, a new specially curated programme of live music and DJ sets will add to the unforgettable experience.

Two thousand years ago, The Roman Baths was a vibrant social and cultural hub. Summer Lates revives that spirit, inviting today’s visitors to unwind and connect in the same space where Romans once gathered. From Monday to Thursday, the site will remain open until 8pm, while on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and the August Bank Holiday Monday, it will stay open until 10pm.

As dusk falls, the Great Bath will be illuminated by soft torchlight, creating a magical setting for evening exploration. Visitors can enjoy a drink from the bath-side bar or explore the site’s rich history with new evening guided tours.

Weekend evening music sessions take place beside the steaming waters of the Great Bath, offering a unique and immersive way to experience one of Britain’s most iconic landmarks. Rather than formal concerts, the performances are designed to complement the historic surroundings—subtle, ambient, and deeply atmospheric.

Multi award-winning star of stage, screen and music LILY ALLEN will star as the enigmatic and destructive Hedda Gabler, one of theatre’s most irresistible heroines, in a thrilling new version of Ibsen’s masterpiece.

A re-imagining of Henrik Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler

Adapted and directed by Matthew Dunster

Returning from her honeymoon and already bored with her marriage, Hedda finds herself shattered by a destructive attraction to a seemingly brilliant but dissolute writer and blackmailed by an older predatory man. Suffocated and betrayed by these violent forces, there is only one choice left to her….

Lily Allen has established herself as one of our most popular actresses and performers. Her recent appearance in the stage phenomenon 2:22 A Ghost Story earned her an Oliver Award nomination and the Whatsonstage Award for Best Actress, before starring in the highly-acclaimed The Pillowman.

The cast includes Tom Austen (The Borgias, Grantchester, The Royals, Helstrom), Julia Chan (2:22 A Ghost Story, Uncle Vanya, Katy Keene), Ciarán Owens (Farewell Mister Haffmann, Ustinov Studio, Peaky Blinders, Small Axe) and RSC and National Theatre actress Imogen Stubbs (Twelfth Night, Jack & Sarah, Sense & Sensibility, The Crown) with further casting to be announced.

The creative team is led by sought-after director and writer Matthew Dunster. A former Associate Director of Shakespeare’s Globe and the Young Vic, he has been nominated for four Olivier Awards and his Broadway production of Hangmen was nominated for five Tony Awards. His West End productions include Hangmen, True West, Shirley Valentine and The Pillowman. His production of 2:22 A Ghost Story, where he began his working relationship with Lily Allen, broke records in the West End and went on to achieve international acclaim. In 2025 he will direct the Conor McPherson’s highly anticipated stage adaptation of The Hunger Games.

From the acclaimed writing team behind the hit stage adaptations The Girl on the Train and The Da Vinci Code, this spellbinding production delivers all the romance, intrigue, and drama you love, now wrapped in a suspenseful whodunnit. A must-see theatrical event that will leave you breathless!
