We’d all love to have a guarantee of good weather when it is time to take a short weekend break or a longer UK holiday in Bath. But of course with the wonderful British weather the way it is, things aren’t always that simple.
That is why we have put together this rainy day list of things to do and places to go when the heavens open and turn Bath into more of a, well… bath!
Take a look at the following, and if you are visiting Bath in the near future make sure you bookmark this page and print off the options nearer the time.
1. You can cool your heels and sample Bath’s very own Sally Lunn Bun in the Sally Lunn Refreshment House and Museum. You’ve heard of Bath buns before – well this is where they originated.
The restaurant is also the oldest building in the city by some way – it is hundreds of years old. As the title says, it is a museum as well as a tea house and restaurant, and many items have been excavated from the property. Some finds date back as far as Roman times!
2. If you’d prefer somewhere a little quieter where you can appreciate works of art in a stunning setting, make sure you visit the Victoria Art Gallery. This is free to enter, so you can nip in during a rain shower and catch sight of some of the best local artwork on offer.
You might even be able to take a piece of art home with you; they often have sales from temporary exhibitions, so keep an eye out for those.
3. If you like works of art but you’d prefer to see something a little different on your weekend or holiday in Bath, try the Bath Aqua Theatre of Glass for size.
They offer several timings for glass blowing each day, but do check before you visit to make sure they are not fully booked. Needless to say there are plenty of glass items to be bought there as well, so you might be able to take home a memento of your visit.
4. No visit to Bath is complete without trying out the Thermae Bath Spa. This has the benefit of offering you the chance to dip into the thermal waters both inside and outside. So if the weather has been good for you then you could try out their rooftop pool!
The Hot Bath and the Minerva Bath are both situated indoors however, so if you have been unlucky and got bad weather on your UK weekend break away, you don’t have to worry. You can still enjoy all the delights of bathing in thermal baths and drinking in the relaxation that comes with it.
So there we have it – four great options to get you started if you don’t get the best of the UK weather in Bath. And there are plenty more besides, so be sure to do some research before you go!
