About

As the sun sets over Bath this summer, The Roman Baths will open after hours with the launch of Summer Lates, a six-week programme of evening openings from 21 July to 31 August.

Visitors are invited to explore the historic site in a new light—literally—with torchlit ambience, a pop-up bar, and a relaxed, atmospheric setting every night of the week. On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings, a new specially curated programme of live music and DJ sets will add to the unforgettable experience.

Visitors can enjoy a drink from the bath-side bar or explore the site’s rich history with new evening guided tours.

About the Summer Lates music programme

Weekend evening music sessions take place beside the steaming waters of the Great Bath, offering a unique and immersive way to experience one of Britain’s most iconic landmarks. Rather than formal concerts, the performances are designed to complement the historic surroundings—subtle, ambient, and deeply atmospheric.

The music programme brings local talent into the heart of the ancient site in partnership with Bath Arts Collective. On Fridays and Saturdays, Bath Carnival and POLYMATHIC will bring vinyl DJs to the Baths including Beavs (Void Bristol), Buckley (Bacana Funk) and Monobrow (Sound Records) who will create a laid-back, uplifting vibe with an eclectic mix of Latin jazz, rare grooves, and global sounds.

Sundays offer a relaxed close to the weekend, with acoustic sets programmed by 7 Hills Festival. Performers such as Our Man in the Field, Hayden Thorpe, and Izzie Yardley will bring gentle folk, classical crossover, and singer-songwriter sounds to the space.

Make a date for a historic night out with friends, enjoy some time out with someone special, or end an unforgettable day out with the family in style.
