Discover the best of Bath this summer.

Soak up the energy of summer in the heart of the city as the Bath Summer Fayre returns for a vibrant weekend celebration. Taking over some of Bath’s most-loved shopping streets, the Fayre brings together a fantastic mix of independent traders, artisan stalls, and delicious food and drink.

Wander through Milsom Street, Quiet Street and New Bond Street as they come alive with unique finds, from handcrafted goods to tasty street food, all set against the backdrop of Bath’s beautiful architecture. With live entertainment and a DJ adding to the atmosphere, it’s the perfect place to relax, explore, and enjoy the buzz of the city.

Whether you’re browsing, catching up with friends, or discovering something new, expect a lively, feel-good summer experience right in the centre of Bath.

ResLife Ambassadors will be ready to meet you in the Aquila Court Social Space by the reception desk from 12.35pm.

You’ll be able to recognise them wearing a light blue t-shirt or hoodie with the ResLife logo on. If you prefer to arrive earlier, there is plenty of seating available in the social space.

The group will leave Aquila Court at 12.45pm, so please make sure you are ready to leave and have joined the group by this time. The walk into town is around 15–20 minutes at a relaxed pace. It’s a great chance to chat with others and get into the carnival spirit before the festivities begin.

Our group activity will finish at 3:00 PM, but you're welcome to stay and enjoy more of the fayre on your own if you’d like. There’s lots to see and do into the evening!

At this event you’ll get to step into one of Bath’s most exciting annual events! The fayre includes:
