House iconBath is bubbling over with festivals, events and activities – throughout the whole year.

What’s happening in Bath? Well, In the early Summer we are spoilt with the Bath Festival – a celebration of all things music and literature with over 120 events in 10 days. For those who like our famous resident Jane Austen, there is a festival dedicated just to her and the city gets taken over with people clad in period costume – you feel like you are on a film set.

Then, of course, there is the wonderful Christmas Market which is a truly magical experience. Plus lots more going on in between.

Here’s a run-down of some of the major events happening in Bath, that we would recommend you visit:
