Festivals in Bath at a glance

Our Bath calendar has 2 listings under festivals: 1 with fixed dates and 1 whose next dates are not yet announced. Every listing links to its organiser, so check opening times and tickets there before you travel.

This is a short list so far. For more choice, see festivals across the UK (55 listings) or everything on in Bath.

When they happen

The busiest month for festivals here is May, counting each month an event runs in. Months for listings without confirmed dates come from the organiser's usual timing, so treat them as a guide.

What our Bath guide says about those seasons:

Spring (March to May)
Gardens and parks such as Parade Gardens and Prior Park start to bloom, with fewer crowds than summer.
Summer (June to August)
Long days for walks on the Skyline and along the canal. Book rooms and popular attractions ahead.
