Bath Christmas Market
Wooden chalets around Bath Abbey and the Roman Baths, focused on local makers.
✨ Date night🎉 With friends
What's there
- Over 180 wooden chalets around Bath Abbey and the Roman Baths
- Spread through the Georgian streets of the centre
- Local makers and food producers
- 25th anniversary in 2026
What visitors say
Visitors love the Georgian setting and the number of chalets, and many say it doubles as a good way to explore the city. The complaints are weekend crowds — Saturdays can be wall-to-wall — high prices, and a market spread so widely that some found it less Christmassy than expected; a few wanted more hot food.
One of England's best — but only 18 days long. Go on a weekday and come by train or park & ride.
