At Christmas-time people flock to Bath as the aromas of mince pies and mulled wine fill the air at the annual Christmas market.

This year's Bath Christmas market will be running from Thursday, November 30 until Sunday, December 10.

The market is open until 9pm on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings and 7pm the rest of the week.

The market takes place by Bath Abbey and features over 100 wooden huts selling all sorts of goodies, from stocking fillers and original handcrafted gifts and decorations, to that something extra special.

The market provides a great festive atmosphere and usually heralds the beginning of the festive season in the city as the fragrance of mulled wine and pine needles fills the air.

Since its beginnings in 2001, the Bath Christmas market has grown in size and stature and has now established itself as one of the highlights of the Bath events calendar.

Bath Abbey and the Roman Baths provide a great backdrop to this event
