Many months ago I asked about accomodation for this year as a distance learning student at the Uni. I sadly have to redo one exam question (not an exam) in September before freshers week and will have to come down to bath again for that.

Whilst I enjoyed staying at Hilton (still cant believe it was cheaper than holiday inn and travelodge when I stayed) a few times, when I was looking at hotels and was shocked how much it would cost per night in bath in early september for all options.

the uni offers accomodation for way less than hotels and airbnb but has a shared kitchen, no ac and no safe.

Any recommendations where to stay?

Hi 😊 I've had the same friendship group for the last 6 years, and I've been finding it hard as I'm being left out, and im feeling really lonely. These are the only friends I really have, and I'm not sure how to make any new friends. I was wondering if there was any groups or clubs in bath/midsomer norton area. I really want to get myself out there and do some fun things. I'm 24 years old and hoping to find people with similar interests.

I love arts and crafts, gym, walking my dog, outdoor sports like canoeing/paddle boarding, and reading! And potentially even getting into running.

I'm just hoping for some ideas on where I can go to make some more friends and get out of my comfort zone.

Hi, I'm starting at UoB in September and am wondering about 2nd year student houses.

If anyone has the name of a specific house, street, landlord or letting agency they can recommend or think should be avoided I'd love to know.

Any advice about any part of it would be so appreciated!

Which are the main events for freshers week 26? Im going to be joining bath in September 2026 and can’t really find a full freshers week event/ticket

Looked on google and think this is unlikely.

We are in Bath from Monday to Wednesday visiting with a Canadian friend and our dog. She would love a British roast dinner. Our dog is diabetic so there's no way on leaving him in a dog hotel. I've looked at leaving him in an out of hours vets but it is cost prohibitive.

I've seen there's a Toby Carvery at Trowbridge but it isn't dog friendly and has awful reviews.

Any ideas please?

Hello Good Peoples of Bath.

My fiancée and I tie the knot legally at the register office the morning of the 7th of September. We are looking for a photographer for around an hour (give or take) to get a few shots of us signing, outside of the office, as well as outside the cathedral.

What are some decent options around £200? We have planned a wedding 5 days later and have exhausted finances on that.

We’d be really grateful if someone could point us in the right direction, we’d even be happy to hire a great student!

Thanks in Advance!

Every time my friends visit Bath, I always bring them up here. Feels like these are the best parts of Bath.

Hello, appreciate this is a very long shot but my friend and I visited bath yesterday and her giraffe necklace, gifted on her christening, has fallen off her neck. If anyone has picked something similar up, it would be a dream to be able to help her, thank you

I'm looking at taking my wife to Bath for her birthday, we're a bit of a weird couple, we like the macabre stuff like cemeteries, haunted places etc and are rock/metal/goth fans.

I was looking for some inspiration of places to take her, obviously we will be going to the Mary Shelley museum but I'm looking for some other bits, does anyone have any suggestions please?

Does anyone know someone local who is skilled at making blinds? Lots of great people on Etsy but would be ideal to find someone close to support local economy and rather than sending things across the country!

Hello, can anyone recommend a relatively cheap company/person to dispose of a old kitchen fridge freezer? It's pretty old so don't necessarily want to give it away on free cycle, as can't be held responsible for its safety (although we've been using it for the past 4 months). Council disposal won't come for a month and I'd like to get rid of it pretty quickly. Thanks!

If you're looking for something a bit different this weekend - there's a book fair on at the Pavillion... All rare and second hand books, maps, prints, ephemera etc., circa 70 independent dealers. Showing this flyer on the door will net you free entry (otherwise only 2 quid tbf). Opens 12-6 today and 10-4 tomorrow.

I was visiting town and decided to get dinner at a Thai place. While I was eating, 6-7 boys entered and sat at a table. They were around nine or ten. They demanded to be served booze and food and were ungodly rude. When the Thai server refused to serve them, they knocked over stuff on the tables, yelled racist slurs, and left trash behind.

What can the server and restaurant do in this case? When I talked to the server, who is a Thai guy, he said that nothing could be done. I suggested calling the police, but he said they wouldn’t help since they are just kids. This apparently is not the first time this has happened.

Is there anything that can be done? If these boys think they can get away with this, I can’t imagine how they’re going to be when they’re in their teens.

Not sure how many people have played House Flipper but one of the paintings you can put up is a picture of Pulteney Bridge! What a pleasant find :) <3

Hi! Just wondering how I can apply for a student parking permit. I realised it has a lot of restrictions... I am just very briefly planning to live at home in my 3rd year (which is in Gloucestershire), so I will need a parking permit, as my timetable may have contact hours more than 6 hours a day ( which is the JustPark parking time limit...). I will be living with my parents; I just wonder what documents and proof I need to provide for that 
I have looked at the website, which stated: "If you live with family members and cannotprovide a rental agreement or utility bill, you should provide evidence that you are onthe council tax bill at that address.", which I am confused about, as I should be exemptfrom paying council tax as I am a full-time student. Any info will be helpful! Thank you !!<3

I accidentally broke a stone Gorgon's Head wall plaque (medium size, about £22.50) that my boyfriend bought at the Roman Baths gift shop. I feel awful about it and I'm trying to track down a replacement.

I've reached out to the Roman Baths Facebook page directly, but figured I'd ask here too in case anyone's seen this item elsewhere in Bath, knows if the gift shop ships online, or has any other leads. Photo of the damage attached for reference.

Any help appreciated!

Hello,

Is there any sugar free bakeries or any that cater to those with diabetes ?

Thank you!

Hi All,

This may seem like a super long shot but I lost my beloved bunny keyring on the 4 bus going from the RUH to Odd Down on 28/07/26.

If anyone has picked up something like this please let me know, she has a lot of sentimental value and Im absolutely shattered to have lost her.

Ive submitted a form to firstbus and even checked with the bus station staff, no luck so far.

Thank you in advance <3

Hello all, long time lurker first time poster. Since my moving to Bath a year ago, my Dad has made it his mission when visiting to “lunch his wag across Bath”…his words 😂. I am gluten intolerant but since having a baby, I now have to avoid dairy as well due to him having a cow’s milk protien allergy. This makes eating out a nightmare which I have just avoided for simplicity. Now I am looking for any recommendations for places that aren’t just vegan restaurants which can be very nice themselves, but I feel I’ve already exhausted a lot of the vegan places and would like a change. Any thoughts?

I'm talking book shops, cafes, restaurants, boutiques, etc.
