Bath Christmas Market is an event for everyone, regardless of access requirements. Bath is a historic city, and whilst there are cobbles located at some parts of the market, we have strived to make this as accessible to all as possible. All our event and security staff are trained to offer assistance to anyone that requires it, and if you would like to discuss specific access arrangements and support ahead of your visit, please get in touch.
Toilets
We have accessible event toilets located at Terrace Walk and Bilbury Lane, as well as accessible toilets and changing places located throughout the city. The nearest changing places can be found at Bath Leisure Centre, North Parade Rd, Bath, BA2 4ET or Southgate Vaults, 12 Southgate Street, BA1 1AQ.
Parking
Blue Badge holder parking is located throughout the city centre. All blue badge parking spaces within the city centre remain unrestricted during the Christmas Market, with the exception of Milsom Street and New Bond Street where restrictions are present.

Mobility Aids
Mobility aids such as scooters and wheelchair hire is available through Assured Mobility. They are open Monday to Friday, 9:30am to 4:30pm and you can organise this directly through them.
Quiet Shopping
Mid-week is generally a more relaxed time to visit the market, as the weekends can get quite busy. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays between 10am and 12pm, we are operating a quiet shopping time. During these hours, our team is not scheduling any large-scale entertainment so that those with sensory sensitivities can enjoy a quieter shopping experience.
Quiet Areas
During the weekends, the market can be quite busy and we understand that for some people, this can be overstimulating. If you feel overwhelmed during your visit and would like somewhere quite to rest, Bath Central Library is opening its doors to our visitors should you need somewhere to decompress. They have free wifi and computers, and a children's area too.
If you would like to find more ways to make your stay accessible, Visit Bath have a whole page that includes information such as accessible hotels, restaurants, and attractions. Find out more.
