Bath Christmas Market
From a morning pickup in your local area, we journey by coach to the award-winning Bath Christmas Market, set within the city’s elegant Georgian streets. Spend a magical afternoon and early evening soaking up the atmosphere as twinkling lights illuminate the market stalls. With a wealth of local artisans and independent traders offering handmade gifts, seasonal treats and decorations, there’s plenty to delight and inspire. Spread across this historic city and framed by the magnificent Bath Abbey, it’s the perfect setting to make new festive memories. You’ll have time to enjoy dinner at your leisure before we depart for our comfortable overnight hotel.
Bath Christmas Market
After breakfast we check out of the hotel and join the coach for the return journey, stopping en route at a place of interest.
Comfortable Return Coach Travel
On day 1, relax on comfortable coach travel from your local pick-up as you head for Somerset. Watch low winter light sweep across rolling downs and market towns through large picture windows, and arrive close to Bath’s Georgian centre ready for your festive afternoon.
On day 2, after breakfast and hotel check-out, rejoin the coach for the return journey. Expect sensible rest breaks and helpful pointers from your driver about the region’s past — from Roman engineers to Jane Austen’s Bath society. The seamless logistics let you settle back and review your photos, carrying the scent of cinnamon and the echo of Abbey bells all the way home.
En-route Stop at a Place of Interest
On day 2, your journey home includes an included stop at a place of interest chosen by the driver according to traffic and opening times. It may be the National Trust village of Lacock with half-timbered cottages, the city of Wells and its Gothic cathedral, or the Cotswold hamlet of Castle Combe — each offering a characterful snapshot of the West Country.
Stroll cobbled lanes, browse independent shops, or sample a bakery treat as you admire honey-coloured stone framed by winter greenery. This flexible visit adds context, linking Bath’s Georgian elegance to surrounding rural heritage, and giving time to pause for photos and reflection before continuing your comfortable ride home.
Bath Christmas Market Visit
On day 1, arrive in Bath and step straight into the glow of the award-winning Bath Christmas Market. Wander among chalet-style stalls around Bath Abbey and along elegant Georgian streets, following the aroma of spiced mulled wine and gingerbread. Browse local crafts and pause for photos and reflection as lights shimmer by Pulteney Bridge.
Set within a UNESCO World Heritage city, the market frames Bath’s story from the Roman Baths to Georgian town planning. Choirs and buskers create a festive soundtrack in Abbey Churchyard as honey-coloured stone glows at dusk. In the late afternoon and early evening, soak in the convivial atmosphere and choose dinner at your leisure before meeting the coach for the short hotel transfer.
