WELCOME
Summer fun is nearly upon us!
It’s a joyous time at The Forum as we shift gears a little. We’ve got more family shows coming up. My own family are big Miss Rachel fans, so they’re especially looking forward to Fun for Little Ones in August. Check out this brochure and our website for more children’s events.
There are still big gigs, of course; Ocean Colour Scene join us in August, for example. And I know many of you enjoy our “Evening with…” shows. I’m looking forward to seeing James May take to The Forum stage! Bath Children’s Literature Festival are presenting Katherine Rundell in September, which should be a real treat.
And of course, we’ve got our regular mix of theatre tribute shows for those looking for a good-time night out. Big Girls Don’t Cry are returning soon, who are always a crowd favourite!
If you haven’t yet seen our new website, do take a look. It’s clearer, quicker and easier to use so be sure to keep an eye on it for upcoming listings. For last-minute news, follow Bath Forum on Facebook and Instagram, we’d love to have you with us there.
Finally, our friends at Bath Box OffcehavejustlaunchedApple ay and Google ay, making it even easier to book for us and other venues around the city. lease support them, as they’re an important part of Bath’s cultural community.
Best wishes, Bryn
