5 Best Nightlife Experiences in Bath

During the summer months, the Roman Baths opens its doors until 10 pm. Under the gentle glow of torchlight, the baths take on a magical ambience as visitors find themselves transported back 2,000 years to the days of ancient Rome.

With a bar serving prosecco, champagne and more, visitors to the baths can grab a drink and explore the ancient site along with the many examples of art and artefacts that await within. Taking a tour of the Roman baths by torchlight is an unmissable experience for those seeking history and romance in one of Britain’s best-preserved Roman cities.

Bath Komedia is the premier destination for live music and comedy in the old city. Since 2008, the club has been housed in the beautiful former Beau Nash picture house, a Grade 1 listed building.

Regular shows at Bath Komedia include Krater Comedy Club on Saturdays and the bi-monthly Ministry of Burlesque’s Twisted Cabaret. Be sure to book ahead – events at this club are extremely popular year-round.
