Residents were treated to a ‘sneak preview’ of Bath Christmas Market last night as it opened its gates to all ‘Bathonians’ from 5-7pm.

Full of sparkling lights, Christmas cheer and delicious smelling food stalls, the market has more to offer than any other year! With 170 festive stalls, the market will be running from Thursday 24th November to Sunday 11th December.

Remember, if you are hoping to go to Bath Christmas Market this Saturday, there will be a train strike so please look for alternative travel options. Bath Park and Ride is free for all people going into the city centre.

Even more festivities kick-off tonight with Southgate’s Christmas Light Switch-On. More locally, why not head to Westfield at 6.30pm to witness the Christmas delights there. More photographs and information to follow tomorrow...
