The Roman Baths will open its doors until 10pm (last entry 9pm) every evening in July and August, giving visitors a chance to explore the awe-inspiring attraction by torchlight. 

With its steaming Great Bath, 2,000-year-old pavements and stunning Roman artefacts, an evening visit to the Roman Baths is a unique and unforgettable experience.

Run by Bath & North East Somerset Council, the Roman Baths attracts 1 million visitors a year, making it one of the most visited heritage attractions in the United Kingdom. 

Councillor Patrick Anketell-Jones, (Conservative, Lansdown), Cabinet Member for Economic Development, said: “We are delighted to offer visitors the chance to see the magnificent Roman Baths by torchlight.

“Entry is free for Bath & North East Somerset Council residents on production of a Discovery Card, so this is a great opportunity for local people to experience one of Bath’s most famous attractions out of normal daytime hours.

“The Roman Baths is leading the way in encouraging a vibrant evening economy in Bath.”

Visitors can round off their evening with a meal at the Pump Room restaurant or Roman Baths Kitchen.
