Remember the days when Christmas shopping was all part of the fun? When it was a great excuse to wrap up and start the search for all those gifts you’d carefully planned out for your favourite people? Rediscover that magic with a festive shopping session in Bath and enjoy all the sights and sounds of a traditional Christmas market – after all, it’s much more fun than sitting at home and buying your gifts online.

It’s not too late to book quality accommodation in Bath and start planning your trip, and the streets of the city will soon be lined with more than a hundred wooden huts laden with food, clothes and gifts that’ll have you tempted at every turn. Better yet, the whole city gets into the spirit of things for this event and choirs turn out to lift spirits and make your shopping trip one to remember. While Bath has many of the usual chain stores that we all know and love, it’s also great fun shopping in its independent shops – and all you need to do to find them is venture into any one of the narrow little streets off the main city centre.
