Bath may be full of iconic sights to see and fabulous museums to visit, but there are also plenty of hands-on experiences to have a go at.

Get your hands messy and learn to cook at one of Bath's many cookery schools – you’ll find everything from vegetarian cooking and breadmaking to butchery and foraging on their varied schedules. For a taste of Italy, visit Pasta Making Classes at Pasta Laboratory to make your own pasta, or learn to master Vietnamese cuisine at Noya’s Kitchen. Discover Middle Eastern delicacies at Simi’s Kitchen and improve your baking skills with classes at The Bertinet Kitchen Cookery School.

Fancy a tipple? Take a short drive out of Bath to visit a local vineyard and join a tour and wine tasting session, or you could even try your hand at cocktail making or crafting your own gin. 

Get crafty with a spot of glassmaking, get up close with a hawk, or have a go at crafting your own candle.

Relax and open your mind with a meditation session or massage, or head out on horseback in 500 acres of unspoilt parkland at Lucknam Park Equestrian Centre.

There are also plenty of walking tours for you to get to know a different side of the city, whether it's a Bath Ghost Tour, a Bridgerton and Music Tour or a tasty food tour of Bath's best independents.
