If you’ve ever thought about moving to Bath, start here. The Larkhall Festival isn’t just a weekend event - it’s a glimpse into everyday life and what it’s like being part of the community here. Eighteen gardens opened to the public. Sixteen local artists welcoming you into their studios. Tea on terraces, wildlife gardens, front gardens quietly competing for recognition. It’s thoughtful, creative, and community-led - exactly what makes this part of Bath so special. 📍 Larkhall Festival — Bank Holiday Weekend Save this for your bank holiday weekend plans. - #BathUK #VisitBath #BathLife @plantykate @katherine.fraser @theclaremontpub
