Christmas time

Now to 4 January | 10am–4pm

Please note we are closed on Monday 1, 8, 15 December, but open on Monday 22 and 29 December during B&NES school holidays. We are closed on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and Boxing Day.

  • Car park, Exhibition Gallery, Gardens, Gallery Shop: 10am–4pm (last entry 3.30pm)

Be enchanted by the wonderful artisan Christmas decorations inside our Georgian Manor House, including a spectacular 17-foot Nordmann fir tree from Langford Lakes in Somerset. All our Christmas decorations are made by our incredibly talented community of volunteers, who have created hundreds of ornaments around the Museum’s 2025 theme of exploration.

Visit on the weekends to listen to the Courage Singers choir or Bath Phoenix choir live and enjoy festive storytelling and activities, and treats in the deli – see our What’s On page for Festive Weekends information.

It’s your last chance to see the Beyond Infinity space exhibition, which is open until 4 January 2026. At this time of year, the gardens are full of frosty seed heads and frothy grasses, set against misty valley views – a lovely setting for a wellbeing walk.

  • The exhibition, gardens, deli, creative activities and gift shop are open from 10am–4pm

  • The Manor House is open 11am–4pm every day (last entrance at 3pm)

  • Creative activities are available to enjoy all weekend in the Coach House
