Looks like a fire is happening inside Ernest Jones on Stall Street.

I’m looking for a cleaner to clean every few weeks. I previously went with Noble Cleans but I wasn’t really satisfied and are looking for a new one.
Any suggestions?

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for a recommendation for a tailor / someone to make alterations in central Bath.

I have a winter coat which could do with being more fitted, but the main issue is the length of the sleeves (there are also buttons on the sleeves so possibly more complicated to shorten). It was expensive so I’m a bit apprehensive!

Other than that it would just be to have a pair of trousers shortened.

Any recommendations for the most trustworthy place where they will pay real attention to detail?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Bath,

I am one of the co-facilitators of the Death Café that runs at Bath Central Library. If you haven't come across Death Cafés before, they are free, informal gatherings where people come together to talk openly about death, dying, and what matters. No agenda, no therapy, no religious angle. Just honest conversation over tea and cake. They run in nearly 90 countries and have been quietly growing in Bath for a while now.

Our next one at the Central Library is on Friday 4 December, 1 to 3 pm, and we would love to see some new faces there. But here is what I am actually asking about. We want to reach more people, and I think a daytime slot at a library is not always the most accessible option for everyone. I am looking for recommendations for spaces in Bath that might be open to hosting something like this in an early-evening slot or on a weekend. A café, a community space, a pub with a back room, a hall, somewhere with a bit of warmth and character that could hold a small group of people having an honest conversation.

Ideally somewhere that is already doing something interesting in the community, or that has an ethos that would sit naturally alongside a conversation about mortality and meaning.

If you know somewhere that might be a good fit, or if you run or work in a space that you think could work, please comment below.

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone, I work from home a lot and I want to get out and meet more people. I love film pretentious and unpretentious. I’m just wondering if there’s any film clubs that people know of that might be able to join. This might be meeting up and watching a movie in chat about it or go to the cinema or I don’t know just hanging out. I’ve looked on Meetup but I haven’t found anything if anyone knows I’d love the pointers thank you.
I’m a 40/M incase it’s relevant.

I’m visiting only a couple
Days after walking the Cotswold and want to ride a couple hours in the countryside. Any recommendations?

It's Sold Out and I only found out he was playing last week.

Can anyone please help me source me a ticket?

Have any of you lovely folk seen any cheapy tickets around for this at all? Quite like a bit of Example and he’s playing tomorrow.

Bit of a long shit but I'm looking for someone/s to go to Avon Valley Fear Park this October!

I'm a huge horror enthusiast, especially anything to do with Friday the 13th and Halloween, and I’m really keen to get to Avon Valley Fear Park this year. I went last year and it's honestly fantastic, tickets are roughly £80 but this ticket covers unlimited and fast tracks on scare mazes which you will want as queues get manic.

Unfortunately, none of my friends are horror fans, and the few that are are stuck at work during the dates. So I’m seeing if anyone here might want to go on any of the available dates. I’m totally flexible and happy to fit around whatever works for you.

I’m more than happy to DM beforehand to chat details, expectations, comfort levels, etc. If you’re in or around the Bristol or Bath area, I can also offer pickup and drop‑off to make things easier.

If you fancy a night of scares, screams, and good vibes, give me a shout!

EDIT: People have dm'd me about dates, it runs throughout October Thursdays- Sundays the only date I can't do is Halloween itself sadly

As title suggest, I am curious to know best secondhand shops which are reasonable priced? Particularly interested in winter clothing.

A couple of weeks ago I asked about the best way to get from Heathrow to Bath: the breakdown was about 50/50 bus vs train.

We’ve just gotten home after our trip, and here’s how it played out:

We took the red-eye flight from Toronto to Heathrow, arriving about 0800 that morning, in one of those strange cases where a 6 hour flight puts 12 hours on the clock.

It took about an hour to navigate through the airport, queue for and pass through customs, and find the bus station. Once there, we went to the service desk to get tickets.

Then we got two surprises: the first was that the bus (National Express) was quite a bit more expensive than expected; the second was that although there were a couple of different departure times, the first couple of busses were “locals” that made multiple stops, with a later “express” bus that went straight to Bath, with the upshot being that all busses arrived at about the same time - which was an hour later than our narrowboat pickup time.

We asked about the train, and that turned out to be double the cost of the bus, and while it offered arrival times earlier than the bus, there was also the issue of needing to change trains at Paddington.

At this point we were jet lagged as hell, hadn’t slept on the plane, dehydrated to a certain extent, and generally in a poor mood, so we went with the express bus as the “bird in hand”. We emailed the boat people that we’d be late, and waited the two hours for the bus.

The bus itself was fine and arrived on time.

The next surprise was discovering how much vertical relief exists in Bath. The short walk to the narrowboat wharf was entirely uphill, including a particularly nasty stretch with about a 12% grade leading to a staircase. Who puts a canal on top of a hill, seriously?

But we made it to the wharf and the narrowboat people were absolutely lovely and professional and the tour up and down the canal was everything we had hoped for.

Four days later we took a taxi into Bath proper (lesson learned) checked in to the hotel, took a bus tour to get the lay of the land, walked around some, toured the Abbey, and after lunch, did Paul’s Bridgerton walking tour (which delighted the wife). Beautiful city and well worth the visit.

Our next stop was London, and we discovered that if you booked tickets online the train was substantially cheaper than had been quoted to us. We also discovered the GWR app which made understanding how the train system worked much, much easier. So we took the train to Paddington, which was a very slick experience.

We also discovered that there is an alternative bus company “FlixBus” that appears to be even cheaper and more frequent than National Express if booked in advance.

So then, lessons learned:

1. I should have been more proactive about researching bus/train schedules rather than waiting to get to the bus station and playing it by ear. I was uncertain about the time delay between landing and making it to the bus station (which is why I handwaved away the research) but I should have been better prepared.

2. Both bus and train work just fine for getting to Bath from Heathrow, with the bus having a slight convenience advantage due to being a single connection rather than changing trains at Paddington - assuming the schedule works for you, as trains are more frequent.

3. It would be worth investigating FlixBus as it is advertised as being 1/3 the cost of National Express.

Thank you everyone who provided advice and input. We had a great trip.

Hi

I’ll be commuting to uni, I live in Bristol and will be studying at the university of bath. Driving is the quickest option for me, can anyone tell me what the parking situation is like? I’ve seen loads of parking spaces but is it reliable? I don’t wanna drive 40mins then to not find any spaces etc. I’m low-key stressed cause ifit’s not a 40 min drive it’s a 1.5 hour bus and I don’t have quick access to trains near me and I have caring responsibilities at home.

So yeah could someone let me know what it’s like thanks

Thought I’d do a little fun post. Also encouraging a moment to pause and reflect in the day :). Please join in if you can.

What are your 5 favourite everyday little blessings/experiences in Bath? Not necessarily the big touristy things, just the things you regularly do that make you think how lucky we are to live here.

Mine would be:

1. Reading in George V Memorial Garden in Bathwick.
2. Having tea and cake outside the Holburne Museum when it’s sunny.
3. Walking to the Crescent at night.
4. Walking up Jacob’s Ladder to Alexandra Park and, if the pastry mobile is there, grabbing a choux pastry.
5. Sitting on a bench by the Abbey, people-watching after doing my Waitrose shop, with my complimentary coffee.

What are yours?
