Bath Festivals brings some of the finest international musicians, speakers and writers to entertain audiences, in the beautiful venues and spaces of our world heritage city. We produce events that start conversations, inspiring and promoting the positive impact that music, words and books can have on people’s lives.

We produce The Bath Festival and the Finale Weekend on the Rec in the summer and Bath Children’s Literature Festival in the autumn, which bring the city alive with a celebration of the arts. Since 2020 we have also produced the digital children’s Reading is Magic Festival https://www.readingismagicfestival.com/. Our year-round creative learning programme of hands-on music and literature projects gives children and young people opportunities to gain real-world experience, building their inner confidence and improving communication skills through the arts.

Our Festivals are made possible thanks to the very generous support of our volunteers, members, patrons and partners.
