With Bath Abbey, the Roman Baths and the impressive Christmas lights providing a spectacular backdrop, this compact, lively, Christmas market is a wonderful way to get into the festive spirit.

With over 120 wooden chalets offering a wide variety of hand crafted toys, cards, art, decorations and toys, you are sure to find the perfect stocking filler or gift. In addition, the chic city shops and independent boutiques will provide an unrivalled shopping experience; especially with the unveiling of the new South Gate centre this year, a stone's throw from the market with many major brands and high-end stores.

Many of Bath's cafes and delis offer delicious treats at the market or you can wander further into the city to discover some fine restaurants and stylish places to eat and drink.

For an extra special treat, visit the naturally warm Thermae Bath Spa. Relax in the outdoor steaming roof pool, float gently around the indoor spa or be invigorated in the huge steam rooms.

We recommend combining your visit to Bath with a trip to nearby Bristol for a vibrant, cultural and historic day out.
