  • A peaceful sanctuary at Christmas time

Outside, crowds of spirited shoppers browse quaint chalets, the smell of mulled wine and chestnuts fill the air, carols are being sung.

After a two-year break, Bath Christmas Market has returned to our city, and we couldn’t be more excited. From 25th November until the 11th December, we will see the streets of Bath host over 200 chalets with handmade decorations, bespoke jewellery, artisan food, drinks, and much more. St John’s is delighted to be part of such a fantastic event which sees visitors from across the UK come to enjoy it’s delights.

For those exploring the festivities of the market, why not take a wander off the beaten track, along cobbled streets to find our Chapel, St Michael’s Within. Tucked behind the Thermae Baths, through the corridor of twinkling lights into St John’s courtyard, take a left and find yourself in our sanctuary of peace.

Open 3pm until close every day during the Bath Christmas Market, join us for a moment of calm. Regardless of your faith, our Chapel is a safe space for you to come and drop the shopping bags for a while and breathe.

For those that are struggling with the loss of a loved one this Christmas, we have put up a memory tree.  Leave a photo, some words, or light a candle to help cherish their memory. We look forward to welcoming you.
