About Bath
Bath is found in the county of Somerset, in the southwest of England. Its name comes from the iconic Roman baths, dating back to its period of being a popular spa town. It was declared a World Heritage Site in 1987, and its recent rise in culture and arts has made it a major tourist site, attracting millions of visitors per year.
The Bath Festival 2018
Celebrating seventy years since its inception, The Bath Festival 2018 is a must-see for anyone who wants to combine art, culture and history into one event. With a focus on literature and music, this multi-arts festival will feature over 100 performers from an array of genres including comedian and author Robert Webb (Peep Show) and musicians such as Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin) and Professor Green.
With the success of last year’s festival, it’s first as a multi-arts event, the 2018 Bath Festival is sure to surpass its previous installment with performances and events running over a 17-day period, a week more than last year’s festival.
The Bath Festival will take place from the 11th to the 27th of May in various locations throughout the historic city. If you’re travelling by train or bus from London to Bath, the journey will take between 1.5 and 2.5 hours.
