The dates for next year’s Bath Christmas Market have been confirmed.

With the dust barely settling since the 2024 event came to a conclusion on Sunday, December 15, Bath and North East Somerset Council (B&NES) has announced it will return from Thursday, November 27 until Sunday, December 14, 2025.

Hundreds of thousands of visitors, hundreds of stallholders and community groups are invited to return to the market, set within the streets of Bath city centre.

This year, 180 chalets showcased more than 230 traders, 80 per cent of which are based in the South West. A total of 40 per cent of the 80 traders signed up for the first time are based in Bath and the surrounding areas.

The Christmas festivities in Bath are continuing with the arrival of the Victorian Carousel which will be in Stall Street until Sunday, January 5.

Councillor Paul Roper, cabinet member for economic and cultural sustainable development at B&NES Council, said: “This year’s market has once again been a great success and received excellent feedback from local traders. Thank you to everyone who worked hard to make this year’s market a triumph.

“We’re excited to be able to confirm the 2025 dates already - the 25th anniversary of the event - so that residents, international visitors and traders can plan their return. Keep an eye on our social media channels for updates.”

Sandy Luck, at Aldwick Estate, was among the stallholders at this year’s market. She said “The Bath market is so well organised and planned and gives our product fantastic exposure.

“We love the festive feel, the brilliant staff that organise the event and love meeting and talking to all the visitors that come to Bath to experience this wonderful market.’’

Daran, Vickie and The Sparkorium family, from the Sparkorium, said: “This year’s market has been amazing, full of lovely people enjoying all that is Christmas. The first weekend was the busiest ever.”
