Well, what a great day out. We have just come back from a long weekend in Georgian Bath and considering I felt grotty, we had a truly great time. Bath is a lovely city at any time of year but the Christmas Market makes it even more special. With the magnificent Bath Abbey as a backdrop, the market is made up of one hundred and fifty odd little sheds. All lit up and decorated, selling a wide range of handmade and interesting gifts. Lots of cheese, chutney and cider, and plenty of foodie stalls serving delicious treats, the pancakes were particularly good. Also artisan crafts, great glass and jewellery but also wreaths, boxes, iron ware, bags, quirky clothing and soaps & balms plus lots and lots of other ideas. It was cold but crisp and there was a great atmosphere, bear is mind that many sheds cannot take cards so you need plenty of cash - many of the cash machines around the market ran out of money, so go prepared. We have a great Christmas Market quite close in Manchester City Centre but Bath was different and very enjoyable. The festival is on until 14th December and I would heartily recommend it. 
It was a truly great day out, we had genuine Italian ice cream, even though it was freezing and a scrumptious meal at Raphael Bistro. David had booked theatre tickets as a surprise, so we finished the day with Jeeves and Wooster at the Theatre Royal. John Gordan Sinclair played Jeeves and he was so funny, very silly but so enjoyable. So that was my great day out, if you want a charming christmas experience, the Bath Christmas Market is a must. If you can make it to the festival, give it a go its worth it.
