Bath is an ideal location for a group trip. It’s the UK’s only city designated a World Heritage Site in its entirety, so you’ll have plenty to see, whether it’s the beautiful Georgian buildings and world-famous landmarks such as the Royal Crescent and The Circus, plus impressive attractions such as the Roman Baths .
Bath can be very busy at weekends, so our top tip is to plan a midweek break to obtain the best rates available. It is also a very walkable and compact city, which makes travelling to Bath by train an attractive prospect no matter what size of group.
Many of the group-friendly attractions and tours offer special prices and guided packages for groups, but do require you to pre-book to ensure the best visitor experience possible.
The city has a broad selection of group-friendly places to stay, with a selection offering special group rates. It’s worth contacting the businesses directly to discuss the size and needs of your group before booking. In general, the earlier you can confirm a booking, the better.
You’ll also have plenty of choice for group-friendly restaurants and bars, plus some suggestions for memorable foodie experiences including tours, cookery lessons and local events.
