About

Celebrate International World Heritage Day in Bath on Saturday 18 April with a day of free, family-friendly fun exploring what makes Bath a UNESCO World Heritage Site, bringing the city’s remarkable history to life through interactive experiences and guided walks.

This year’s theme is the 'Social Aspect of Bath,' with the festivities focusing on how people have shaped the city across the centuries, from grand gatherings to everyday moments.

You can expect a selection of hands-on activities, crafts, and fascinating stories from some of Bath’s best-loved heritage and cultural organisations. Meet the teams behind some of the city's historic attractions, including The Roman Baths, Victoria Art Gallery, Bath Abbey, No. 1 Royal Crescent, and many more, all bringing the city's rich heritage to life in their own ways. 

Get creative with craft activities, try object handling, and enjoy plenty of interactive experiences for all ages. Keep an eye out for the brilliantly entertaining Natural Theatre Company, who will be roaming in costume and adding a playful twist to the day.

Plus, don't miss talks throughout the day from local experts, guided walking tours of the city with the Mayor of Bath's Honorary Guides, and special features marking five years since Bath joined the Great Spa Towns of Europe.
