Discover the Magic of Bath Christmas Market
The annual Bath Christmas Market is a true winter wonderland. This market transforms the historic streets where you can find unique gifts, seasonal treats, and plenty of holiday cheer. Here’s everything you need to know about what to do and where to stay when visiting Bath Christmas Market.
Running from late November to early December, the market features over 150 chalets selling handmade crafts, local produce, holiday decorations, and unique gifts. Each wooden chalet is decked out in lights and festive garlands, creating a charming and cosy atmosphere.
Other Things to Do in Bath at Christmas
In addition to the market itself, Bath has plenty of activities and beautiful sites to make your visit extra special.
- Take a Christmas Lights Walk: Bath’s city centre is adorned with twinkling lights and festive decorations, especially around Milsom Street and Bath Abbey.
- Visit Bath Abbey: Stop by Bath Abbey for a dose of history and architecture. During the Christmas season, the Abbey hosts carol services and candlelight concerts.
- Relax at the Thermae Bath Spa: Warm up from the winter chill at the Thermae Bath Spa. Their rooftop pool provides beautiful views of Bath, making it an incredible experience, especially on a frosty winter evening.
- Explore the Roman Baths: Although it’s not Christmas-themed, the Roman Baths are a must-see if you’re visiting Bath. The historic site is even more enchanting during the quieter winter months.
Where to Park for Bath Christmas Market
Bath can get quite busy during the holiday season, so it’s worth planning your parking in advance or choose one of our accommodation providers with parking.
- Park & Ride: The Lansdown, Newbridge, and Odd Down Park & Ride services are ideal for those who want to avoid city-centre traffic. They’re affordable, easy to use, and only a short journey from the heart of Bath.
- City Centre Car Parks: If you prefer to park closer to the market, Charlotte Street Car Park is a popular option with plenty of spaces, but it can fill up quickly. Other options include Avon Street Car Park and Southgate Car Park.
- Street Parking: Limited metered street parking is available but tends to fill up fast. Arrive early if you’re hoping to secure a spot.
- Train Station Access: Bath Spa Train Station is within walking distance of the market. Consider taking the train, especially if you’re coming from cities like Bristol or London.
