Grown-ups can immerse themselves in special late evening (til 8pm) openings at the Great Bath, when there will be a pop-up bar set up serving drinks by flickering torchlight through the Easter long weekend. The Baths are in the centre of Bath in the Abbey Church Yard (BA1 1LZ).

Visit the museum on Good Friday and you can add in an award-winning theatrical walking tour to the price of an entry ticket to follow in Mary’s footsteps. It’s an experience to be remembered, all happening at 37 Gay Street in Bath (BA1 2NT).
