Bath Abbey

Pilgrims and visitors have been made welcome at Bath Abbey for hundreds of years. As one of the most visited places in the South West, we welcome over 420,000 people through our doors each year, but are fully aware that every visitor comes with their own expectations, beliefs and purpose.

Whether it's to admire our magnificent architecture, to enjoy our wonderful choral music or for a quiet moment of contemplation, we invite you to come and experience the Abbey's special environment for yourself.

Bath Abbey has been witness to many significant events in history, ranging from its time as an Anglo-Saxon monastery to the present day. As a result, it can be a wonderful resource for visiting schools by helping bring history to life. Equally, in its role as a living place of worship, the Abbey provides an opportunity to understand what the Christian religion means today as part of a wonderful cross-curricular experience.
