Lonely Planet review for Assembly Rooms

The city's glorious Assembly Rooms were built in 1771 under the supervision of Beau Nash. Chamber concerts, card games and public balls were held in the gloriously furnished rooms, and welcomed many famous visitors including Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Haydn and Strauss. You can stroll around the card room, tearoom and ballroom, all lit by their spectacular 18th-century chandeliers (one of which nearly crushed the artist Thomas Gainsborough in 1771).
