Baths main theatre, The Theatre Royal, is considered to be one of the most beautiful in Britain. Bath and North East Somerset entertain all year round - with festivals of literature, music and film. Whatever the season, you'll find events that reflect the standing of the area as a centre for art and culture. And for those who seek the pleasures of life, Bath is enormous fun.
The Bath Bun? What's that? Although no one is certain of its origin, the Bath Bun was mentioned as early as 1763. The small round bun consists of sugar and currants and is available from a number of bakers and tea rooms in the city. Not to be confused , the Sally Lunn Bun is baked to a secret recipe, handed down through the generations. It is only available at Sally Lunn's Refreshment House, where Sally Lunn established her baking as a favourite of fashionable society in the 1680's. Today you can discover the taste for yourself, in this charming Refreshment House and Museum, the oldest house in Bath. |
