Are you feeling festive yet? I have to confess, I wasn't. Its a stressful time of year with so much going on, so much to organise, so much to remember (if it's not written down it doesn't happen!) However, I challenge anyone to not feel festive after visiting a Christmas Market!
The smell of roasting chestnuts and mulled wine is the scent of Christmas, throw in a few mince pies and I'm feeling like Mrs Christmas - haha!
I've never been to Bath Christmas Market, which is shocking seeing as I only live over the bridge. I've always been put off by stories of chaotic parking and huge crowds. If these things make you go cold aswell, I have a tip for you. Go on the last day of the market (this year was Sunday 13th December) and book a coach trip. Saves you worrying about parking and the crowds are so much less than when it first opens.
I went with my mum and dad and we had a lovely time browsing stalls, sampling all cheeses, fudges, honey, pretty much anything that was being given out as a sample!

I love Bath. This is only the third time I've been but if you've ever been you'll know its instantly recognisable from the type of stone they use for all the buildings and of course, Bath Abbey in its centre is beautiful if you're into architecture and the like.
There are loads and loads of stalls at the market, all selling goods from cheeses, to leather belts, to german wooden puzzles. There's carols in the Abbey, mince pies to be eaten and loads and loads of festive spirit!
I bought quite a few gifts at the market (all of which are wrapped and in a top secret location until the big day!) and it felt good to support local businesses as well as getting myself in the Christmas Spirit!
Thanks for reading, until next time!
