Bath Christmas Market
26 November – 13 December 2026
Abbeygate Street to Milsom Street, Bath, Bath and North East Somerset
Bath Christmas Market dates back to 2001, when local businesses and artisans first came together, and today its chalets light up the centre of Bath. More than 250 independent traders and food stalls fill the cobbled streets around Bath Abbey, from Abbeygate Street north to Milsom Street, all within the city's World Heritage centre. Stalls cover homeware, clothing and accessories, children's presents, beauty and wellbeing and even pets, alongside food and drink from the caterers. Around the chalets, the city centre's own boutiques, designer shops and well-known high-street names are there too. The market is free to enter, held in the open air, and runs for 18 days.
