Christmas Markets in Bath, Bristol & Wells

Why not combine Christmas shopping with a caravanning mini-break to ease yourself into the festive spirit? Shop for unique gifts in the city markets, treat yourself to a hot toddy or sugary strudel and sample the festive fayre by a log fire at local inns around Chew Valley. Our park's reknowned Christmas illuminations will be switched on from 24 November.
