Events in Bath From 27th April – 3rd May 2026

You can find family sessions this week at Victoria Art Gallery, aimed at children aged 6–12. These hands-on workshops explore local history through tactile craft projects using materials inspired by Roman-era artefacts found in nearby excavations. On Tuesday evenings, the gallery hosts these events near The Circus.

Live music is available midweek at St John’s Church, where the Bath Chamber Ensemble performs on Thursday evening. The space holds up to 80 guests and is accessible via Jacob’s Ladder or footpaths along the Avon River. Earlier in the week, spoken word nights take place on Tuesdays and Fridays at small café venues near Abbey Green. Audience members can contribute lines during open mic segments.

Comedy sets feature at The Pump Room bar midweek; local acts perform under a policy of no recorded material or pre-written scripts. Evening events, such as the monthly Poetry & Pints gathering, are held in pubs and community centres with low lighting, encouraging conversation over spectacle.

The calendar also includes interactive museum sessions focused on Roman engineering, available to school groups and adult learners during daylight hours at The Circus site. These are run in collaboration with Bath’s heritage education team.
