Well known for traditional donkey rides, the amusements and rides of the Grand Pier, ice-cream on the beach and fish & chips, there is so much more to offer as well!

Wells Christmas Market

Wells Christmas Market is a truly magical festive experience, set in the heart of England’s smallest city and framed by the breathtaking backdrop of Wells Cathedral. With its twinkling lights, historic surroundings and welcoming atmosphere, it’s the perfect place to soak up some Christmas cheer.

The market features a wonderful selection of traditional wooden chalets, offering everything from handcrafted gifts and festive decorations to locally produced food and drink. It’s an ideal spot to pick up unique presents, sample seasonal treats or simply enjoy the sights and sounds of the season. The scent of mulled wine and hot food fills the air, while festive music adds to the cheerful mood.

Take time to wander around the cathedral green, admire the illuminated architecture and enjoy the slower pace that makes Wells Christmas Market so special. Whether you’re browsing for gifts, enjoying a warming drink or just taking in the atmosphere, the market offers a relaxed and authentic festive experience.

Compact, charming and full of character, Wells Christmas Market is a lovely way to start the Christmas season and a highlight of any festive break in the South West.

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!

Glastonbury

INCLUDED Visitor DestinationHistoric Glastonbury is a quirky, unique place to visit, best-known for its nearby annual music festival. A compact town, everything worth seeing is within walking distance and one of the most refreshing aspects of Glastonbury is that it is not over commercialised. The Abbey, dating from 670 AD is now an atmospheric ruin, and a visit is still very worthwhile. Prior to that time, the town existed as a Celtic religious centre. According to legend, 2000 years ago Joseph of Arimathea is said to have brought the young Jesus here. A 10-minute walk from the High Street will take you past Chalice Well to the foot of the famous mystical Glastonbury Tor. You can also enoy the 'new age' side to the town, with mystic shops and free spirits who have made Glastonbury their home. It is a legendary place that weaves its way through everything you experience here. Back to top
