About The City Brief Bath
Your Personal Newsletter For All Local Events in Bath
Bath’s event calendar reflects its Georgian architecture. From the Roman Baths to The Circus, from Bear Flat to Bathwick, there’s always something happening across the city, and The City Brief helps you stay informed. We focus on what’s happening week to week in Bath: the festivals, markets, walking tours, theatre performances, and community gatherings that shape local life. Whether it’s the Bath Literature Festival celebrating the city’s literary heritage, the Christmas Market bringing seasonal cheer, or evening street theatre tours adding a playful edge to historic streets, we keep you informed about events that matter to your neighbourhood and the wider city. Bath’s character comes from residents and visitors exploring together, walking the Georgian terraces of Lansdown Place and Somerset Place, discovering independent venues, attending live music evenings in local pubs, or joining one of the daily walking tours that trace the city’s story. Our role is to be your weekly guide to these happenings, so you know what's on without having to search multiple websites or miss announcements buried in social feeds. We cover Bath, from family-friendly green spaces and interactive museums to niche festivals like Bath Vegan Festival, from the iconic landmarks that draw people in to the quieter neighbourhood events that build community. Whether you’re a long-time resident of Bathwick Hill or new to the area, The City Brief connects you to what’s happening in your city right now. Our weekly coverage means you’ll never miss an opportunity to explore, learn, or simply be part of Bath’s story. We believe local knowledge should be accessible and straightforward, helping you make the most of your city, one week at a time.
