What to expect
The Bath Christmas Market is one of the best in England, with around 170 wooden chalets set up around the Abbey and the narrow streets of the city, selling crafts, decorations and seasonal food. The honey-coloured Georgian buildings, lit with lights, make a glorious backdrop. It is very busy at weekends, and the city is crowded with visitors.
Tips before you go
- Go on a weekday to avoid the biggest crowds.
- Book trains and rooms early, as December weekends sell out.
- Consider visiting the Roman Baths and the Thermae Spa for a warm-up.
