Well the tree is up in Abbey Church Yard and a fine specimen – complete with real pine cones.
This year B&NES put in a proper base so guy ropes are no longer needed to keep the fir in place. Health and safety don’t you know.

In amongst our 170-odd Christmas Market huts – spread around Bath Abbey and down into York & Bath Streets and Abbey Green – traders are set up and selling.

Things look pretty much the same as last year but do have a look at the market website. There are also carols in and out Bath Abbey, seasonal buskers and plenty of festive decoration and colour.

The Abbey Hotel is still awaiting the return of their snow globe but have got their apres-ski chalet up and decorated. Thank goodness someone is doing something for the children (and adults of course)!
