May School Holidays in Bath

There's plenty of fun for all the family this May half-term in Bath, with venues in and around the city offering a wide range of special events and activities to keep everyone entertained.

Head out on an adventure whatever the weather with activity trails at Bath's award-winning indoor and outdoor attractions. Join a Royal Roman Quest at The Roman Baths to help an Emperor find his perfect crown from the museum's collection, see if you can spot all of the historic items hidden in trees around the Dyrham Park estate as part of the venue's Month of May celebration, and follow Zog on an interactive trail through the stunning forests of Westonbirt Arboretum.

Get your creative juices flowing with themed craft activities at some of Bath's other superb museums. Make your own constellation telescope at the Herschel Museum of Astronomy, or try your hand at fashioning mothball lavender bags at No.1 Royal Crescent, then mix and match your favourite Georgian accessories in the museum's new 'Georgrobe' experience. Alternatively, join in with creating an origami model city inspired by Bath with 'Fold My City' at The Egg Theatre.

Don't miss the Royal Bath & West Show, with its usual action-packed programme of captivating live entertainment, artisan food and drink, animal displays, and much more, making for the perfect British day out. This year's edition also sees the introduction of some exciting new additions to enjoy!

The May school holidays are also the perfect time of year to enjoy the beautiful green spaces and countryside around Bath.
