The dates for this year’s Bath Christmas Market have been announced.

Thousands enjoy the short trip from Wiltshire for annual festive spectacular and they will need to leave a space in their diary during late November and early December.

Bath & North East Somerset Council has revealed that this year’s event will take place over 18 days, from Thursday, November 23 to Sunday, December 10.

Wiltshire traders who plan to apply for a stall at the market can do so from mid-April and can sign up to the council’s mailing list to stay informed.

B&NES council leader Kevin Guy said: “I am delighted to announce the dates for 2023 and even more so given the success of last year’s Christmas Market.

“The 18-day event attracted almost half a million people, the majority of which were first-time visitors.

“We are now well under way with planning for this year’s event and I want to thank everyone who was involved and helped make it a success.”

The market has been running for over 20 years and the 2022 event attracted more than 426,000 visitors.
