This is purely a guideline to give you an idea what we are doing during the weekend. Feel free to make your own plans and leave as and when you like. With a large group of different ages it is hard to please everyone so if you wish to join us great, if not we can just see you in the evening!
08:00
Depart from Kent
12:00pm approx
Stop off at Bath. (Just 7 miles from Bradford on Avon)
The Bath Christmas markets have sadly finished but there is still plenty of things to do at this time of the year.
1. Bath on ice
Glowing in atmospheric lights, Bath on Ice is back for its 11th year and is the perfect place to practise your skating and show off some moves. With wintery music, a cosy bar, and seasonal drinks, you’ll be transported to a a dreamy winter wonderland! Whether you’re a Dancing on Ice champion, a total newbie or just about anything in between, you can be sure to find some festive euphoria on the surface of our real, genuine ice.
Located next door to the Ice rink. Bath’s popular adventure golf course will be decked out with its very own fairy light installations. Playing golf at night with glow-in-the-dark balls adds a whole new layer of excitement to the classic daytime experience.
3. Roman Baths
2,000 years of history are waiting for you to discover and explore.
A moment of stillness in the beating heart of a vibrant city. A space that’s alive with music and prayer, art and history. A place where awe-inspiring architecture lifts the eyes – and raises the spirit. Bath Abbey is many things to many people.
Whether you come here to join a service or a tour, light a candle or listen to our choirs, what unites us all is a sense of wonder. There is so much to discover – please step inside…
We plan to spend most of the day sightseeing before checking into our accommodation so see you most of you there!
16:00 onwards
Check in. Enjoy your cream tea, take a look at the surroundings and chill before our evening meet up.
For those not visiting Bath 1st check in is from 4pm.
19:00
Options to be discussed.
The Farm Shop sadly is not open beyond 4pm during December so pizza night has been moved to pizza afternoon on the 31st Dec. We have the option to walk to the local pub for a few drinks or meet in the Walnut Room for Quiz night and games for a relaxed evening. Perhaps we all cook a variety of sausages and have hot dogs outside with a big game of man hunt.
