At a loose end during the week ahead? Here's our at-a-glance guide to ten things to do in Bath during the coming week:
The big show this Christmas and New Year is Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at the Theatre Royal. It's one of the best they have done in recent years and is a must see for the whole family and it runs until mid January, so you have plenty of time.
You can see in the new year in grand style at the Theatre Royal Bath with conductor Jason Thornton and Bath Philharmonia playing a variety of popular classics.
On New Year's day there is the traditional Viennese-style concert at the Forum, Bath at 3pm with glittering waltzes, firey polkas and romantic songs with the London Gala Orchestra and special guest singers.
