Though markets are frequently held in the huge open space in the centre of the station, the permanent stalls built around the walls are wonderful, and make up a very special part of Bath.

Green Park is a vibrant and special part of Bath, which is a fast ten-minute walk from Bath Spa Station. It is also very close to Queens Square, and right next to the banks of the Avon. Arrive there at the weekend and you are almost guaranteed to see some markets and stalls set up, and perhaps a live band playing. If you arrive at quieter times, then there is more than enough to enjoy.
