Milsom Street and Broad Street.
Previously known as Milsom Place, the site is being relaunched under its original 18th-century name to reflect its heritage as a working stable yard that once transported goods and art from Bath to London.
Covering 75,000 square feet and incorporating terraces, vaults and landscaped courtyards, the redesign blends historic architecture with contemporary finishes.
A hub for food, drink and culture
The relaunch on October 15 will showcase Shires Yard’s new direction as a destination for food, retail, wellness and culture.
Alongside Josh's Root, the development will also see the arrival of Magari, a pasta-focused restaurant, Coret Coffee and Wine, The Cookery Studio, Bramley’s first standalone skincare store, Yogakave hot yoga, and a series of independent makers and galleries.
There will also be pop-ups including a taproom from Bath’s Electric Bear Brewery, complementing existing names such as Bosco Pizzeria, The Botanist, Bandook Indian and Côte Brasserie.
Bath as a dining destination
For Bath, which has grown its reputation as a dining destination with openings such as Upstairs at Landrace and Beckford Canteen, the addition of Eggleton’s Root reinforces the city’s culinary credentials. For Shires Yard, it signals the kind of ambition its custodians want to foster: independent creativity, hospitality-led vibrancy, and a sense of place that connects history with the present.
Shires Yard partner Peter Phillips said the aim was always to breathe new life into a part of Bath’s heritage.
He added: “Our goal was to re-energise an important part of the city’s history. With restaurants like Root joining, Shires Yard will once again become a focal point for food and culture in Bath.”
