March 2027

Events in Bath this March

March sits between the quiet affordability of winter and the crowds of Easter — a good time to visit Bath if you want accessible attractions at reasonable prices. Here is what is on.

What's on in March 2027

St Patrick's Day (17 March)

17 March 2027

Various pubs across Bath · Free entry most venues

Bath's Irish pubs and bars mark St Patrick's Day on 17 March — notable venues include The Bell Inn and The Raven, with extended live music programmes. Book a table if you want to eat; the pubs get busy from early afternoon.

Check bathlitfest.org.uk for exact March 2027 dates

Guildhall, The Forum, multiple venues · From £12 per event

The Bath Literature Festival typically spans late February and early March. If the 2027 festival extends into March, the early-week events tend to have better ticket availability than the weekend headline names.

Spring at Prior Park

From early March, National Trust

Prior Park Landscape Garden, Ralph Allen Drive, Bath BA2 5AH · £12 adults / free NT members

Prior Park Landscape Garden opens fully to spring visitors from early March. Daffodils, the Palladian bridge, and the views over Bath from the terraces. A Bridgerton Season 4 filming location. No on-site parking — take the No. 2 bus from Bath city centre.

Roman Baths

Daily, from 9:00am

Stall Street, Bath BA1 1LZ · Adults £22 — book online

March brings slightly improved visitor numbers relative to January and February but remains manageable. First thing in the morning (9:00–9:30am) is consistently the best time to visit.

Bath Farmers' Market

Every Saturday, 9:00am–1:30pm

Green Park Station, Bath BA1 1JB · Free entry
