About this location
Ladies Bath is a historic bathing facility in Edinburgh’s Old Town, in the Grassmarket area. Bath houses and swimming halls of the Victorian and Edwardian era have a specific architectural character — high ceilings with changing room subdivisions, glazed tile work, the proportions of a civic bathing facility — that appears rarely in the production hire market. At 160-person capacity and £350/session the space is accessible for mid-budget productions. The Old Town location means the exterior context is Edinburgh’s densest historic environment: the Castle Rock, the Grassmarket’s traditional market character, the closes and wynds of the medieval city. For productions needing a period bathing or pool facility interior without the complexity of filming in an active swimming pool, a historic bath house at this rate is a production asset.
