More about Widcombe

Separated from the centre of Bath by the river, Widcombe has always celebrated its ‘independence’ and has thrived on its unique reputation as an artistic, even Bohemian community. 

There’s always something going on in Widcombe, and we’re lucky to have a vibrant social club in the heart of the village, hosting events, clubs and activities and providing a year-round community hub. 

Widcombe’s regular events begin every January, when the Mummers present their short musical folk play to usher in the new year. The annual summer art trail and the Christmas market draw visitors from all over, and throughout the year local independent traders offer residents and visitors alike a rich selection of (sometimes eclectic) retail experiences and a wide range of eating and drinking options.

We also value our links to other local organisations, so we can keep you up to date with our friends and neighbours.

Widcombe has plenty of history, and our churches, cemeteries, historic houses and war memorials provide a backdrop to the village’s dramatic and often surprising past. Find out more here.
