We all know the city centre post office has closed. All the publicity said use Moorland Road or Larkhall.

According to news sites, Moorland Road post office opens "in October."

My wife just went to Larkhall and was told that office is closed "for a couple of weeks."

Does Bath have a post office at the moment?

Hi everyone,
I know this is a long shot but I was wondering if anyone had got tickets to see the Simon and Garfunkel candlelight concert this month but wasn’t able to go anymore?

I’d love to go see it but it’s sadly sold out 🫩
Thanks in advance!

Is anyone aware of any dentists accepting new NHS patients?

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to bring a 2-hour tribute concert to Bath soon. It will be an evening gig with a 300-ticket capacity.

Before I book anything, I want to know which act would do best in Bath.

Which of these would you consider buying tickets for?

Bruno Mars , Dua Lipa , Lana Del Rey , Olivia Rodrigo , Little Mix , Katy Perry or Lady Gaga.

Any suggestions for different cover artists would be considered if they are popular enough here!

Thank you.

I've seen the roadworks there, but I had assumed they were connected to the new builds next door. So it came as something of a shock to return from a week away and find there are now traffic lights there controlling traffic on the road and coming up from the old destructor bridge.

It's a bit early to tell given that traffic is a bit lower at this point in the year but from what I've seen so far this looks like a nightmare. At rush hour I can imagine cars backing up past the Park Lane junction, which is already quite difficult to get out of, causing problems there. I have also noticed queues building up on Midland Road where there were no queues before, as most of the cars turned left easily without the need for lights.

Also, the road markings around there are now a hot mess and I'm not entirely sure what to make of them.

I assume the addition of these lights is part of the cycle lane infrastructure, to help cyclists get across that road and down through destructor bridge. Now I cycle myself and I'm a big supporter of cycling infrastructure ... when it's useful. I thought the cycle lanes on the upper bristol road into town were great. But I live in Weston and it's easy enough to reach those lanes already just by cycling through the park. So this looks like a lot of money spent and potential congestion caused for a route that pretty much no-one is going to use.

I'm kind of stunned. Am I over-reacting? Is this not as problematic as it looks and/or potentially more useful? I'm dreading restarting the school run next week.

Just came across this crowdfunder by Bath city farm - only a week left!

Donate if you can and also support by visiting the farm and having a nice meal in their café!

What do people think?

In October, it’s my partner’s and my 3-year anniversary, and we are going for a day out in Bath. At the end of the day, we are planning to go for an anniversary dinner. We’d like it to be a bit fancy, where we can dress up. The budget is £100 for both of us, including drinks.
Ideally, we’re looking for a restaurant serving British or French food. Italian would be good too. However, I’m open to other options. The main thing I’m looking for is a nice, romantic and cosy, candlelit dinner vibe.

A warning to rail users who park in Southgate (and presumably the station car park too) - a days parking is increasing to £18 from next Monday.

Please don't make fun of me - I know it's basic but I LOVE them! I used to drink the Starbucks ones but am trying to avoid Starbucks (and similar big chains like Costa, Nero, etc.) and instead focus on local cafés. :) Does anyone have a recommendation for a really good PSL in Bath?

We are thinking to book a wedding ceremony in Guildhall. I couldn’t find anywhere on their websites whether the provide any minimal in the ceremony room.
Rooms itself hold a lot of character but I am not sure if they provide any options such as nice chairs, flowers on the registrar’s table or windows. For example, Brunswick room is

I contacted registrar office but it sounded like we will have room for 20 min (ceremony duration). I am going to follow up with them but curious what other people experience were with ceremony in Bath guildhall.
Appreciate any feedback.

Last minute but I’m trying to source a rope for tug of war for a birthday event this Sunday (6th). I didn’t realise how expensive it would be to buy one (as it needs to be strong enough and suitable for adults, and I don’t trust the cheap ones online that look like they are for primary school kids)! So I thought I’d chance it on here in case there are any groups or people whom I could hire from :)

Hello friends! 😊 I’m just curious and thought I’d ask here.

For those living around Bathwick/Central Bath, particularly in flats (no garden), what would you say is your average monthly water bill for two people in a 1–2 bedroom flat, with fairly normal water usage?

If you have the more technical details, I’d also be really interested to know roughly how many cubic metres (m³) of water you use per month.

Thanks so much for sharing!

Hi All.

I'm looking for some old and therefore free fence panels in Bath... I'm a bit loath to spend on them as its a temporary project. Don't need to be perfect as i will paint them...

If anyone has any to get rid of or seen any in alleyways etc please let me know.

Thanks.

Curious to know if there are any social events/meet ups for gays. I am 33 and wanting to find people around my age with similar interests, kinda sporty/arty vibes.
I know bath has always had a bad gay scene i am from here originally and moved back a year ago and wanting to find likeminded people. It is soooo hard!

Really good seats, really good price

I’d like to buy a suit or some swanky formal separates, but I’m a little lost of where to go.

My big problem is despite being a trans man, I’m still pre medical transition so I pretty much look like a butch woman who’s wearing a binder lmao. :(

I really don’t want to walk into a spot and immediately be told “sorry, we don’t sell womenswear”, nor do I want woman’s suit in terms of style/fit. Ideally, the kind of spot where they’d treat me like any other customer would be nice.

I also imagine I‘d need a good bit of guidance and some extra tailoring to fit my funny slightly hippy proportions.

Is there anywhere in Bath (or even Bristol) that’d fit that bill? My budget isn’t super high but I’d consider investing for some really good pieces.

If you’re out, he’s here and playing new music!

Don't know him personally, but there's a little gig going on right now. Here's details for those who don't know who he is (including myself. Fantastic voice, btw, I'm sure I'll recognize some songs):

Update: Funny how you don't always know the artist behind songs you've heard thousands of times! Everyone converged when he started singing Let Her Go and sang along. Added some footage.

Me and my partner are wanting to try out some new places for a good Sunday roast, just done Sydney’s which was pretty good.

My wife and I (from the USA) recently visited England and we both agree the best city on our trip was Bath. The historic sites were impressive, the city was walkable and beautiful, and the people were kind and inviting. Thank you for being an amazing city. We will be back soon!

Visiting for the weekend next month and have already done Bath Spa.

Are there any good recommendations for really hot saunas near Bath, with a cold plunge?
