Join us to celebrate World Heritage Day on Sunday 21 April at the Guildhall, Bath.
This year we are exploring the theme ‘Dynamic Views’ with a day of events, activities, and talks looking at the special place that the landscape all around us has in making Bath a special place.
We’ll be joining some of Bath’s great heritage organisations including Bath Preservation Trust, the National Trust, The Roman Baths and Victoria Art Gallery for a packed programme of hands-on activities throughout the day. Create a landscape using different papers, make a Bath-inspired badge, decorate a pebble, and handle ancient archaeological objects. We will also be giving a talk, along with Bath Preservation Trust and the Museum of Bath at work.
The Mayor of Bath’s Honorary Guides will lead 50-minute guided tours to see the landscape setting, celebrating Bath’s amazing scenery. Setting out from the Guildhall, the tours start at 11.30am, leave regularly and the last tour will be at 2.30pm. Included is a visit to the Abbey plant room, normally closed to the public, to explore its innovative new eco-heating system, powered by the hot waste water from the Hot Spring.
The special event runs from 11am – 3pm in the Banqueting Room, Guildhall and it is all free.
