If you would like to visit the beautiful filming locations of Bridgerton and Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, we’ve put together this handy list of local attractions and settings. Don your finest attire and step back in time to the 18th century.
Wilton House
Wilton, Salisbury SP2 0BJ
This beautiful grand stately home, given to William Herbert 1st Earl of Pembroke in 1542, is well recognisable amongst period drama lovers. It has also appeared many times in Bridgerton, standing in for Queen Charlotte’s extravagant throne room, and will no doubt make more appearances in the prequel. The opulent interiors can also be seen in productions including The Crown, The Young Victoria, and Emma. The house and grounds are open to the public during the year, but visitors are advised to check before visiting. WiltonHouse.co.uk
The Holburne Museum
Great Pulteney Street, Bath BA2 4DB
The Holburne Museum in the centre of Bath is the townhouse of the much-loved character Lady Danbury and can be seen throughout the series. It is assumed that Lady Danbury is going to be a key player in Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, so we can safely assume The Holburne Museum will appear again. The Holburne Museum, located in Sydney Pleasure Gardens, Bath, is home to many fine art collections including Gainsborough, Guardi, and Stubbs. It’s also a base for community programmes such as creative workshops, music performances and family events. Holburne.org
Bath Assembly Rooms
Bennett Street, Bath, Somerset, BA1 2QH
At the centre of all formal social affairs, Bridgerton and by extension, Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, love to throw a society ball. The 18th century Tea Rooms and Assembly Rooms are transported back in time to be used exactly how they would have been in the Georgian period, for socialising and making important societal connections. Who knows how many eyes have met across a crowded candlelit room, peering over the lace of a fan? When they were finished in 1771, the Assembly Rooms were described as ‘the most notable and elegant of any in the kingdom’. Make sure to check the website for information if planning to visit.
