Bath Artisan Market — Local services in Bath

Booked the Christmas market with just go holidays, Christmas market was visited on Saturday, absolutely mayhem with wall to wall people, won't do this one again. Coaches are given slots to drop off, six or seven minutes walk from market. Near to outside skating rink and night adventure golf course. There is a resteraunt/ bar by rink,but again rammed on Saturday. Market is spaced out over many streets,but so many people it's difficult to get about. Few tips avoid weekends,if you do go and if you want to eat select and book a resteraunt before you go or you won't get in anywhere, luckily we stopped at an Ibis in Bridgwater so managed to get something reasonable to eat. The ibis is a bit out of the way so taxi to nearest restaurant if you want a trip out. Ibis staff were all helpful and friendly although we felt room a bit on the poor side,one or two marks on wall and similar with holes in wall? Only there one night, had we been there a few we would have been less happy. Coach had to have a stop on route at motorway services and because of slot in Bath for drop off,we had to kill an hour, not the best. One good point was stopping off Sunday at Tewkesbury, which gave time to visit wonderful Abbey and lovely old town, although Sunday plenty of places to eat and plenty of small shops open. Overall good couple of days,but won't do...
