The first Bath at Twilight evening, which featured late night shopping, dining and entertainment has been heralded a success, with more people out and about in the city during the event.
Footfall data, collated by the Bath Business Improvement District team, shows that there were 8% more people out and about in the city at the first of the monthly events in June than the previous year and in Union Street there was an 31% increase from the same day in 2017.

Shops are staying open later, with many offering special promotions and the popular open-air market returns.
Street entertainment is being provided; including local group Off the Rails as well as children’s face painters.
The focus on young people continues; My Small World, the award-winning independent toy store is holding a summer discount party, with a 10% discount on everything in the store for the one night.
