The Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa in Bath is welcoming the summer season with a host of events, experiences and cultural offerings, open to guests and locals alike. The newly opened Taittinger Champagne Terrace invites guests to relax with a glass of fizz or to enjoy live music at one of the regular DJ nights and live jazz evenings. What’s more, Bath is set to be an especially popular destination this year, thanks to Jane Austen 250, and those attending the festival or visiting in the run-up can book “The Jane Austen Experience,” inviting overnight guests to step back into Regency-era Bath.
The city of Bath comes alive in the summer months, with a number of regular festivals and live music events taking place throughout the season, including Robbie Williams playing a landmark concert on the Crescent as part of its 250th anniversary. The hotel is perfectly placed for both visitors and guests to stop by or stay for longer while soaking up the buzzing Bath atmosphere. The newly opened Taittinger Champagne Terrace provides the perfect place to unwind during the afternoon or evening. Surrounded by manicured gardens and sun-drenched corners, guests can sip on chilled glasses of Taittinger Champagne complemented by light seasonal dishes and sharing plates available throughout the day.
Live jazz evenings will take place regularly across the summer season, with saxophonist Iain Ballamy and his Crescent Jazz Trio performing a vibrant mix of classic jazz, original compositions and samba and bossa nova rhythm, fortnightly on Wednesday evenings on the heated terrace at Montagu’s Mews. On the first Friday evening of each summer month, from 7–9 p.m., June through September, visitors can enjoy laid-back summer vibes from the hotel’s resident DJ, Select Sounds, while sipping on handcrafted cocktails and snacking on light bites.
Until September 28, the gardens of the hotel will host an outdoor sculpture exhibition by Axle Arts and Somerset Art Works, featuring a variety of sculptures by renowned and emerging artists from the local area.
The Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa is also offering guests the opportunity to immerse themselves in the Regency period through “The Jane Austen Experience” package, available throughout the summer. Step into Jane Austen’s Bath with a private two-hour walking tour, followed by a themed afternoon tea in Montagu’s Mews. The overnight package will run during the months of June, July, August and September, meaning guests can book during the most exciting time of the year for Austen lovers: The Jane Austen Festival in September.
Throughout the summer, guests can also book a hot-air balloon ride during their stay, in the hotel’s private balloon; a fragrance workshop with local perfumery Parterre; a unique Penny Farthing tutorial; or a Ground Wellbeing treatment at the spa.
