Bath Weather in April

April weather in Bath

April feels like spring, but it can still turn cool and damp. Expect highs around 13°C and lows near 4°C, with rain on about 11 days. There's more daylight for wandering, though sunshine can be patchy.

The Roman Baths and the Holburne Museum work well when showers roll through. On a brighter day, stroll from the Royal Crescent through Victoria Park. The Bath Skyline can be muddy after rain, so choose the flat canal path if you'd rather keep your shoes clean.

Events and Easter

The Bath Comedy Festival often runs across March and April, bringing stand-up shows to venues around the city. Easter also falls in April in some years. School holidays can make the Roman Baths and central streets busier, especially over the long weekend.

Travelling with kids? Keep a rainy-day plan ready; the Roman Baths are a good break from wet pavements.

Crowds and local tips

April is usually calmer and better value than Bath's peak summer months, June to September. But Easter can bring a noticeable bump in visitors, and popular sights may feel crowded. For a quieter visit, look at dates outside the school break.

At the Roman Baths, book a timed entry slot if you're visiting during Easter week. Then leave time for the Pump Room next door, where you can try Bath's famous spring water. It tastes strongly mineral, so you may prefer a Bath bun from a nearby café instead.
