HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS
DISCOVER THE MAGIC OF BATH THIS CHRISTMAS
November 2017
At Christmas time Bath really comes into its own - especially after dark. Wreathed in light, the magnificent Abbey watches over the shoppers thronging through the beautiful Christmas markets. Visitors can enjoy ice skating, mini golf, carols, theatre, street food - and a trip to the stunning American Museum for Jazz Age-inspired exhibits and activities. Could this be the most charming Christmas city in England?
BATH CHRISTMAS MARKET
Until 10th December
Regularly voted amongst the most popular events in the UK, the 18-day Christmas shopping extravaganza is the biggest Christmas shopping event in the South West and consists of more than 200 beautifully decorated wooden chalets in the heart of Bath’s World Heritage Site. The Bath Christmas Market has a romantic atmosphere and attracts thousands of visitors from across the UK. Set in the picturesque streets surrounding Bath Abbey, there couldn’t be a more perfect and magical setting for a Christmas Market.

CHRISTMAS AT THE AMERICAN MUSEUM
Until 17th December
A short 10-minute shuttle from the centre of Bath, we strongly recommend a trip up to the American Museum this month - its Jazz Age inspired Christmas scenes will really get you in the mood for a party. Each room features a different period of American history decked out ready for Christmas. The museum is also running a Christmas wreath-making workshop on the 6th and 7th.
