About

Experience an unforgettable day out at The Roman Baths this winter. Feel the magic as steam rises above the Great Bath, meet costumed Roman characters, and immerse yourself in history. From afternoon until closing at 6 pm, the Great Bath will be illuminated by torchlight, creating a truly magical setting.

At weekends throughout December join the festivities at a pop-up bar by the Great Bath, offering indulgent hot chocolate, mulled wine, spiced apple, Champagne, and soft drinks—the perfect way to warm up and enjoy the season.

For young history enthusiasts, the Saturnalia trail (21 – 31 December) provides an exciting journey through Roman holiday traditions, including gift-giving, home decorating, and festive feasting. And on Saturday, 14 December, from 11am to 3pm, families can take part in "Roman Revels", a craft session where children can make seasonal decorations inspired by Roman customs.

Complete your day with a visit to the Roman Baths Shop, where you'll find a sparkling selection of holiday decorations, artisanal ceramics, luxurious candles, and fine food and drink. Open until 8pm on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays during Bath Christmas Market, it's the perfect place to find unique gifts for loved ones.
