The Roman Baths is opening late for sunset sessions throughout summer 2024.

Summer sunsets with an historic twist await at The Roman Baths, as the iconic Bath attraction reveals its late-night opening hours for summer 2024.

Exclusively from Saturday 20 July to Saturday 31 August 2024, the 2,000-year-old baths will remain open until 10pm, presenting the unique opportunity to experience the beautiful site after dark.

Not only providing an escape from the crowds, guests can also grab a drink from the pop-up bar and enjoy the museum at a more relaxed pace as they watch the sun go down alongside friends, family and loved ones.

See the ancient stonework illuminated by flickering torchlight, showcasing the Great Bath is all its glory with a romantic feel that's perfect for date night.

Great for a night out with friends, the event is also an opportunity to try something new and different — the ideal excuse for getting a catch-up in the diary!

Visitor testimonials include: 'Exploring this place is like stepping back in time, surrounded by the echoes of history with every step,' and 'Absolutely amazing as the torches are lit — it's quite special to see it like this.'
