Each year in early December the Bath churchyard area, in its magical setting in the shadow of Bath Abbey, is transformed into a Christmas shoppers’ haven – the Bath Christmas Market, now an internationally renowned festive gift market. Some 120 traditional wooden chalets full of everything you’ll need to prepare for Christmas will adorn the streets with retailers selling unique handcrafted items, festive food and drink, decorations, jewellery, accessories, crafts and children’s toys.
