Blossom in Bath
Bathe in blossom this spring as we join the National Trust Blossom celebrations with Blossom in Bath. Working with our partners Little Lost Robot and the Museum of East Asian Art, you’re invite to join us in celebrating the power of blossom.
Thanks to players of People’s Postcode Lottery, Bath Assembly Rooms is bringing the power of blossom to Bath this spring.
Working with partners and community groups across Bath, we're inviting you to come together in celebration of spring, and to take the joy of blossom to urban streets that don’t have established blossom trees.
The Museum of East Asian Art, Little Lost Robot and More Trees BANES are partnering with Bath Assembly Rooms to deliver Blossom in Bath. Help get ready for the parade by attending a creative workshop that will see blossom lanterns and banners made ready to take to the streets of the city on parade day.
