Enjoy torch-lit evenings this Summer at The Roman Baths
Posted on: 15 May 2018What better way to spend a warm Summer evening than in the beautiful setting of The Roman Baths? The team behind the attraction are offering you just that this year, with the site open until 10pm every day from Saturday 16th June to Friday 31st August 2018.
The historic site takes on a magical atmosphere once the daylight fades and the flickering torches are lit. Visitors can walk around the Great Bath where people bathed nearly 2,000 years ago, see the ruins of the Temple of Sulis Minerva where Roman worshippers gathered, and wander around the Roman Baths museum. Evening visitors will also benefit from reduced ticket prices after 5pm.
Last year, the series of late nights was extended by two weeks and attracted a record number of visitors, with 55,203 people visiting in the evening, up from approximately 40,000 in 2016 and 33,000 in 2015.
Admission to the Roman Baths is free for Bath and North East Somerset residents with a Discovery Card, and last summer 1,171 local people used their Discovery Cards to visit in the evening.
Councillor Paul Myers, Cabinet Member for Economic and Community Regeneration, said: “Torchlit Summer Evenings are a wonderful opportunity to explore the Roman Baths by torchlight after the daytime crowds have gone. I hope that lots of residents will use their Discovery Cards again this year to experience an evening at the Roman Baths for free.”
The renowned Pump Room restaurant will also be open late for dinner and drinks, with live music on offer every evening.
