This year the Awaydays Christmas trip is to Bath Christmas Market, celebrating its 25th Anniversary and transforming the historic city of Bath with twinkling lights, wonderful chalets and festive food and drink.
Around 245 traders will fill the area around the Abbey and throughout the city centre with chalets offering the chance to buy unusual gifts or decorations. Food and drink are available to sample, eat or buy to bring home from the many artisanal and seasonal stalls including hog roasts, Bratwurst, flapjacks and brownies, Puddings and Bath Gin and hot chocolate and Glühwein among others. Performers and live music will be scattered throughout the City. Around 70% of the stallholders are local to the South-West.
Enjoy visiting the historic city with its Abbey and Roman Baths or explore the Pump Rooms, Royal Cresent and Circus of Jane Austen’s Georgian Bath. Explore the many shops, or have a leisurely lunch and walk it off in the Royal Victoria Park below the Royal Crescent!
