Castle Combe & Bath Christmas Market tour 2024: A Festive Wonderland
Looking for a Bath Christmas Market tour?
From Thursday, November 28 to Sunday, December 15, 2024, the charming streets of Bath will come alive with festive magic as the renowned Bath Christmas Market starts once again!
During these two festive weeks, Bath transforms into a winter wonderland, showcasing over 230 twinkling Christmas stalls that stretch across the city’s historic streets and surround iconic landmarks. It’s a wonderfully festive market with sparkling lights, the aroma of mulled wine, and the bustling excitement of holiday shoppers seeking that perfect Christmas gift.
Go Cotswolds has launched our Castle Combe and Bath Christmas Market tour – daily from November 28! But why should you join a Bath Christmas Market tour with us? Here are 4 very good reasons…
1. Perfect for Christmas Shopping
The Christmas Market held each year in Bath, is a treasure trove for holiday shoppers. Stalls feature local artisans, unique crafts, and are filled with holiday treats.
From elegant, handcrafted jewellery to mouth-watering foods, stylish homeware and personalised presents, kids toys to novelty gifts (perfect for that Secret Santa gift!), the market is a one-stop shop for anyone looking to add an original touch to their Christmas gift-giving.
2. Festive Food and Drink
One of the highlights of any Christmas market visit is indulging in the season’s signature food and drink. In this regard, Bath’s Christmas Market does not disappoint!
Caterers across the market serve a delightful array of seasonal treats. Think rich hot chocolates topped with marshmallows, traditional mince pies, savoury pastries and sausage rolls, and steaming mulled cider or spiced wine to keep you toasty as you wander through the stalls.
Whether you’re craving sweet or savoury, traditional or experimental, you’ll find something on our Bath Christmas market tour to satisfy every palate.
3. Getting There: An Adventure of Its Own
While Bath’s Christmas Market is a holiday destination that shouldn’t be missed, getting there can be a challenge. Bath’s quaint, historic streets were not built for modern traffic, and parking can be a headache, especially during peak market hours.
Public transport options, while available, might require a transfer or two if you’re coming from further afield. There is no direct train to Bath from Oxford, Stratford-Upon-Avon, Moreton-in-Marsh or Birmingham.
But here’s a solution that lets you enjoy the journey as much as the destination. Join a Go Cotswolds Castle Combe and Bath Christmas Market tour!
With convenient pick-up locations in central Stratford-upon-Avon and at Moreton-in-Marsh rail station, this guided experience allows you to sit back and relax. En route we’ll stop at the picture-perfect village of Castle Combe, where you can soak in the Cotswolds’ fairy-tale charm and take some wonderfully festive photos.
No need to navigate traffic or think about driving, and no need to worry about finding parking! All thee details are taken care of so you can focus on enjoying every festive moment (including a mulled wine or two!).
4. Small groups, comfy transport
Unlike the big coach tour companies with 50+ people per vehicle, our tours are small and personal. We have space for just 16 passengers on each tour, so you won’t get lost in the crowd!
Our drivers are not just drivers – they’re all fun, friendly, local, experienced tour guides. As well as getting you safely from A to B, they’ll enhance your day trip with stories, history, humour and personal recommendations – you’ll feel like you’re spending the day with a friend, not a gruff coach driver!
Speaking of gruff… when you think “minibus”, you might be thinking of a dodgy Ford Transit with half the bumper falling off, operated by a shady taxi company… Not so with us! Our smart Mercedes minibuses are really mini-coaches. They have comfortable coach-style reclining seats, USB charging points, full air conditioning/heating, plenty of luggage space (for all your gift shopping!) and panoramic windows so everyone gets a great view!
Who is the Castle Combe & Bath Christmas Market tour for?
Everyone! Bring a group of friends, your family or maybe your significant other.
Organise a group of work colleagues for a festive trip – or even come on your own (we love solo travellers!).
Our Castle Combe & Bath Christmas Market Tour is perfect for anyone wanting a relaxed and easy way to see the Cotswolds. AND you’ll get some Christmas shopping done in the most carefree and fun way possible!
