See the Roman Baths by torchlight

ONE of the jewels in the UK's cultural crown, the Roman Baths in Bath, Somerset, will be opening until 10pm every evening during July and August for a special season of Torchlit Summer Evenings. The baths take on a magical atmosphere once the sun goes down, when the crowds disappear and the flickering torches are lit.  

Set in the heart of the World Heritage City of Bath, the Roman Baths is a magnificent ancient temple and bathing complex on the site of Britain's only hot spring, which still flows with naturally hot water.

Visitors can walk around the Great Bath where people bathed almost 2,000 years ago, see the ruins of the temple of Minerva where Roman worshippers gathered, and explore the Roman Baths museum.

Run by Bath & North East Somerset Council, the Roman Baths attracts more than one million visitors every year, making it one of the most visited heritage attractions in Britain.

The baths will be open every day in July and August from 9am to 10pm. Last entry is 9pm. Adult tickets for the Roman Baths will cost £15.50 in July and August, while entry is free for the city’s Discovery Card holders.
