> Bath Christmas Market runs from 26 November to 13 December 2026. Opening hours, last year's dates and what the organiser publishes for traders.

## Markets at a glance

### Bath Christmas Market

- Confirmed
- Dates: Nov 26 – Dec 13, 2026
- Where: Around Bath Abbey and the city centre
- Sources: [Official site](https://bathchristmasmarket.co.uk/) · [Previous edition (Nov 27 – Dec 14, 2025)](https://web.archive.org/web/20251115073344/https://www.bathchristmasmarket.co.uk/)
- How to get a stall: The market is run by Bath and North East Somerset Council. Its website lists the current stallholders but doesn't publish an application process; contact the organiser through the site.

We check every date on the organiser's site. A market marked «expected» ran last year and hasn't announced this year's edition yet: confirm before you go or apply.

Bath Christmas Market has confirmed its 2026 dates: **Thursday 26 November to Sunday 13 December 2026**. Opening hours are 10am to 7pm Monday to Wednesday, 10am to 8pm Thursday to Saturday and 10am to 6pm on Sunday.

Last year the market ran from 27 November to 14 December 2025, its 25th edition. At under three weeks it's one of the shorter runs on the UK circuit, which makes it more manageable for small makers than the seven-week city markets.

## What sells at a short, busy market

A short market concentrates visitors into fewer days. That favours stalls that serve customers quickly:

- **Clear prices on everything.** People won't queue to ask.
- **Gifts in a few price bands**, so shoppers can pick something within their budget.
- **Fast payments**, with a card reader that keeps working when the network is busy.

Log every sale and cost as you go. When the market ends you'll know which days and products paid off, and whether it's worth applying again.

## Keep the customers you meet

Many shoppers at Bath are visitors from elsewhere. Give them a reason to buy again: a QR code on your stall that opens your catalogue with prices and a button to message you. Read more in [Instagram is not your website](/en/blog/instagram-is-not-your-website).
