Bath Travel Forum

Hello everyone, I have just joined in.

I wanted to ask anyone with knowledge of Bath about Bath on a Sunday.
Is it any different from other days?
Are the shops etc. open?
Are the attractions open?

I'll be visiting in May next year with some friends.
Thank you.

Most UK cities and large towns are 'open' on Sundays nowadays. That is, the major shops in the centres will be. Opening jours are likely to be different though, perhaps 10 - 4 or 11 - 5 (varies locally).

Sunday public transport usually has a different, less frequent service.

Most attractions will be open on Sundays in May, though it is worth visiting the tourist information website on www.visitbath.com to check days & times for places you'd like to visit.

Thank you for the reply and the link.
I will certainly visit this site. Would like to be sure if those open deck buses ply on Sundays in May.

Wrong link....aaaaaaaaaaargh!

www.visitbath.co.uk !! Sorry; didn't mean to send you to Maine!

It seems the open-top buses run all year, so you'll be ok in May.

Hi,

I live very near Bath. If there is a specific attraction you want me 100% to find out is open for you, let me know. I do know that a few shops and cafes are closed on Sunday but there would still be many shops and cafes open as well as almost all tourist attractions. It is correct that public transport services are less but you benifit from the fact that things are less busy than on a Saturday or weekday (less busy but not 'dead'). May is a great time to avoid too many people.

(If you do write to me it can take a few days for me to reply).

Best wishes,
Martin

Thanks for your offer Martin,
I'll take up on it immediately.
Will Lynn's buns cafe be open on Sunday?
Thanks

Hi,

Do you have the name of the street it is on as I've had no luck locating it. From what year was your information?

Cheers,
Martin

You mean Sally Lunn's cafe - famous for the Bath bun. Here's a link.
