Bath Christmas Market

INCLUDED Visitor DestinationBuilt for pleasure and relaxation, beautiful Bath has been a wellbeing destination since Roman times. For the Christmas season the city centre becomes a twinkling celebration with the streets and squares around the iconic centre filled with dozens of traditional chalets offering gifts and treats galore, an illumination trail of its most beautiful historic buildings, Victorian carousel, traditional carols, and street entertainment centred around the Abbey and Roman Baths. Why not indulge in a glass of mulled wine as the driving is taken care of! The compact, visitor-friendly centre is overflowing with places to eat and drink, plus some of the finest independent shops in Britain. Immerse yourself in Bath’s remarkable collection of museums and galleries, while admiring its stunning honey-coloured Georgian architecture that is straight from a Jane Austen novel. For a special treat enjoy the grandeur of the world-famous Pump Room for afternoon tea, and a sample of the healing Bath waters taken by the city's famous residents for hundreds of years. For something simpler but just as historic try a delicious Sally Lunn Bunn served in the famous eating house or to take away, made to the same recipe since 1680!

PLEASE NOTE: The dedicated coach drop off place is scheduled to be Royal Avenue which is a 10-15 minute leisurely walk into Bath. It is close to the famous Royal Crescent and Bath on Ice. This is a 10-minute walk from Milsom Street, the northern zone of the Christmas Market. There are dedicated toilets facilities, including an accessible toilet, available for visitors.

Oxford at Christmas

Oxford at Christmas is a truly enchanting experience, where centuries of history meet the sparkle and warmth of the festive season. As winter settles in, the city’s famous dreaming spires are beautifully framed by twinkling lights, decorated shopfronts and a gentle buzz of seasonal excitement.

Strolling through Oxford’s historic streets at Christmas feels wonderfully atmospheric. The city’s colleges, with their grand stone façades and peaceful quadrangles, take on a special charm during the festive period. Christmas trees, wreaths and subtle lighting add a cosy touch, making it the perfect time to explore at a relaxed pace. The Covered Market is a particular highlight, filled with independent traders, festive treats and gift ideas, all sheltered from the winter chill.

There’s no shortage of places to pause and warm up. Traditional pubs, cosy cafés and elegant tea rooms offer everything from mulled wine and mince pies to hearty winter lunches. For those who enjoy a little shopping, Oxford’s mix of high-street favourites and independent boutiques makes it ideal for picking up Christmas gifts or seasonal treats.

Beyond the shops and streets, the city often hosts festive events, concerts and seasonal displays, adding to the celebratory atmosphere. Whether you’re admiring historic architecture, enjoying a riverside walk or simply soaking up the Christmas ambience, Oxford feels both lively and peaceful at this time of year.

A visit to Oxford at Christmas offers a perfect blend of culture, history and festive cheer, making it a wonderful destination for a winter short break or a memorable seasonal day out.
