Tickets for the much-loved charity Fireworks on Bath Rec are on sale.
For 40+ years this annual event has raised £100,000s for local charities. The Stadium re-development will pause community events on the site for a while, so go enjoy it while you can!

Congratulations to our friends at the Jewish Burial Ground as they win an award for their uncovering of one of the West of England’s hidden heritage gems.
Given the history of our city link, we are especially delighted.

We were honoured to have a “VVIP guest" at our own Koningsdag celebration in Alkmaar’s UK sister city of #Bath this week!
He presented the winning prize for guessing the number of liquorice pieces in the jar.

We celebrated Koningsdag - Dutch National Day - at our Alkmaar Cafe tonight (the closest to the actual date).
There was traditional food, music, a Vrijmarkt and a Royal Quizmaster!
We even had a visitor to Bath from Amsterdam join us!
A truly gezellig evening.
Meet author Aletta Stevens on 21st February at Bath Library to find out more about her book of the Bath-Alkmaar story: how our two cities came to be linked 80 years ago.
The end of the 80th Anniversary year of our Bath-Alkmaar link, thanks to the @BathRotary.
Their Carol Service in Bath Abbey included one recorded reading from the Bible Christmas story by Alkmaar Rotarian Gilbert de Bock. A lovely gesture which was widely appreciated.
