Unwrap Luxury Stays, Spa Bliss, and Festive Delights at The Roseate Villa

As Christmas approaches, Bath transforms into a magical haven of festive cheer. From 28th November to 15th December this year, the city’s famous Bath Christmas Market will light up the heart of the World Heritage city. With over 229 stalls, you will be greeted by the scents of mulled wine, candied nuts, and freshly baked mince pies as you explore the twinkling chalets spread across Abbey Green, York Street, and Milsom Street. Make sure you stock up on handcrafted gifts, taste local delicacies, and enjoy the live music that fills the air around Bath Abbey.

With plenty to do during the festive season, you can plan a longer stay and have a full itinerary spread over a few days. However, If you are only planning a day trip to the Christmas Market, we recommend arriving early or planning your day ahead because the market tends to get crowded by early afternoon.

After a day spent strolling through the market, you can retreat to boutique and charming hotels of Bath like The Roseate Villa Bath, just minutes away. This hotel in Bath offers luxurious rooms and warm hospitality, perfect for unwinding after your Christmas adventures. They have exclusive offers this season for extended stays to ensure you enjoy every moment. Stay for longer and enjoy welcome drinks, cocktails, afternoon tea, and 50% off parking!
