Trip to Bath Christmas Market, Thursday 30th November 2023 

A small group assembled at Wickes on a dry, bright morning and awaited the coach, organised by Test Villages U3A.  It arrived on time and we had an excellent trip to Bath where the organisation and signage for the drop-off point was excellent.  There were plenty of officials on hand to point us in the right direction for the market and off we went, to meet up again just after 8pm for the equally quick return journey.  The market, spread over several streets was not too crowded and it was easy to see, browse, in some cases sample the goods and buy from numerous chalets. As darkness fell the lights made it a very festive scene.  An excellent trip, it wasn’t too cold nor did it rain, some presents bought and a good restaurant found to return to on future trips to Bath.  The only drawback – for me anyway was the walk up the hill to get back to the coach!
