Events in Bath From 6th April – 12th April 2026

Home · Events in Bath This Week

You can find a varied programme of events in Bath this week, reflecting the city's enduring cultural life across its historic heart. Live music takes place at intimate venues such as The Forum and Rondo Theatre, where acts range from solo acoustic performances to full-band sets with local jazz ensembles. Improvisational theatre groups stage shows at independent performance spaces near Pulteney Bridge, while comedy nights feature stand-up comedians in pubs like Ring O Bells or open-air settings during evening events along Bath Spa railway station’s pedestrian zones.

Family-oriented programming includes interactive science demonstrations running weekly at The Forum and storytime sessions held monthly within green space areas such as Royal Victoria Park. These are often followed by themed activities based on illustrated children's books, encouraging imaginative engagement through storytelling games with props like costumes or sound effects from the Roman Baths exhibit.

Creative workshops focus on practical skills: a four-day cookery series at The Cookery Studio offers lessons in authentic Italian dishes using ingredients sourced locally; music and movement classes are hosted across pedestrian access routes near Jacob’s Ladder. Community gatherings include card-collecting meetups held biweekly, drawing participants from nearby residential zones such as Lansdown Hill or Abbey Church Road.

All times and venues listed below reflect scheduled activity within the city centre between 2026-04-05 and 2026-04-12.
