Step Into Celebration: Bath Carnival 2025 is here!!
Get ready for one of Bath’s most unforgettable events! The carnival fills the city with music, dance, colour, and celebration - a unique chance to experience the energy and creativity that make Bath so special.
Whether you love live performances, bold costumes, or just soaking up the atmosphere, this is a day full of sights, sounds, and memories you won’t want to miss. It's one of those events that truly captures the spirit of the city — and a must-see while you're living and studying here.
At this event you’ll get to step into one of Bath’s most exciting annual events! The carnival includes:
• Lively street parades with music, dancers, and colourful costumes.
• Live performances from local and international artists.
• Food stalls offering a variety of global cuisines and sweet treats.
• Pop-up markets, art installations, and interactive spaces throughout the city.
You’ll have plenty of time to explore the carnival at your own pace.Whether that’s enjoying the parade, grabbing some food, or just soaking up the atmosphere with friends.
We suggest you bring with you:
• Comfortable shoes for walking
• A refillable water bottle
• Weather-appropriate clothing (make sure to check the forecast ahead of time).
• Some money if you’d like to buy food or souvenirs.
ResLife Ambassador Kamal will be ready to meet you in the John Wood Social Space by the reception desk from 12.20pm. You’ll be able to recognise him 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 John Wood at 12.30pm, 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 4:00 PM, but you're welcome to stay and enjoy more of the carnival on your own if you’d like — there’s lots to see and do into the evening!
