Christmas at The Roman Baths

Wander original Roman pavements, explore the award-winning museum and enjoy a festive drink beside the Great Bath on selected days, as steam rises from the waters, illuminated by flickering torchlight.

Families visiting The Roman Baths in Bath, Somerset, can take part in a creative festive trail from 1 December to 3 January. Visitors can pick up a pencil and explore the ancient site together, spotting beautiful decorations, patterns and sculptures along the way.

Children can use what they discover as inspiration to design and create their very own foldable Roman pediment to take home. Once finished, budding artists can submit their designs for the chance to win a selection of art materials!

The Roman Baths Shop offers heritage-inspired Christmas gifts, from spa treats and artisan jewellery to stocking fillers.

Visitors can complete their festive visit with a seasonal afternoon tea or candlelit dining in the elegant Pump Room Restaurant.
