Visit Bath on the Beach

Enjoy a sunny afternoon in this Caribbean beach venue, situated in Royal Victoria Park. Try your hand at beach volleyball and table tennis, followed by tasty cocktails and Mexican street food. Bath on the Beach is free to enter and is open from 10am-10pm until August 4th.

Tour the Roman Baths at twilight

Take a boat trip on the canal

Take advantage of the summer weather and explore Bath’s surroundings from the Avon and Kennet canal. Take a one hour boat ride from Pulteney Bridge, hire a narrowboat or maybe even take a trip on Bath’s only floating restaurant!

Walk the Bath Skyline

Appreciate beautiful views of the city from this 6-mile circular walk, just a short walk from the city centre. If you’re feeling a bit more energetic, try the Skyline 5km Parkrun every Saturday at 9am!

Enjoy afternoon tea in the sun

Take an afternoon to sit in the beautiful grade II listed Parade Gardens, whilst enjoying a delicious cream tea from the Parade Gardens Café. From 3pm there is often live music in the park’s bandstand – click here for details.

Play crazy golf
