One of the jewels in the UK's cultural crown, Bath's Roman Baths will be opening until 10pm during July and August for a special season of Torchlit Summer Evenings. The Roman Baths take on a magical atmosphere once the sun goes down, the crowds disappear and the flickering torches are lit.
Set in the heart of the World Heritage City of Bath, the Roman Baths is a magnificent ancient temple and bathing complex on the site of Britain's only hot spring, which still flows with naturally hot water today.
Visitors can walk around the Great Bath where people bathed nearly 2,000 years ago, see the ruins of the temple of Minerva where Roman worshippers gathered, and explore the Roman Baths museum. An evening spent wandering the Roman Baths is a special experience.
Run by Bath & North East Somerset Council, the Roman Baths attracts more than 1 million visitors every year, making it one of the most visited heritage attractions in the UK.
During Torchlit Summer Evenings the Roman Baths will be open until 10pm. Last entry is 9pm. Adult tickets for the Roman Baths cost £15.50 in July and August. Entry is free for local Discovery Card holders.
You can combine a tour of the Roman Baths with various dinner packages or a trip to nearby Thermae Bath Spa where you can bathe overlooking the twinkling lights of the city as the sun goes down.
