Bath & North East Somerset Council is introducing £1 tickets for The Roman Baths to help make one of the country’s most extraordinary historic sites accessible to even more people. Launching in time for the Easter holidays, UK visitors receiving key benefits will be able to enjoy £1 tickets for themselves and their children.
The Roman Baths is a place where 2,000 years of history come vividly to life. As one of the best‑preserved ancient spas in the world, it welcomes around a million visitors each year who come to discover the natural thermal spring that made Bath famous, walk through the ancient temple courtyard, and stand beside the iconic Great Bath. It is a space that has sparked curiosity and wonder for generations.
This Easter, there are even more reasons to visit, with a family trail inspired by eggs, hands‑on archaeology sessions, craft activities and late‑night opening adding fresh excitement for visitors of all ages. The £1 ticket offer aims to ensure that as many people as possible can share in these experiences.
To support visitors on low incomes, the Council is introducing £1 entry for UK adults who receive Universal Credit, Pension Credit or Employment Support Allowance (ESA). Each eligible adult can bring up to four children aged 6 -18 for £1 each, while children under six continue to visit for free. Carers accompanying an eligible visitor will also receive free entry. In addition to the new £1 tickets, all residents of Bath & North East Somerset can continue to enjoy free entry to The Roman Baths through the local Discovery Card scheme.

Councillor Paul Roper, Cabinet Member for Economic & Cultural Sustainable Development, said: “Everyone should have the chance to experience the magic of The Roman Baths, regardless of their financial situation. This site is not only a jewel in Bath’s heritage crown, it is one of the most important ancient monuments in the country. By offering £1 tickets, we hope that families and individuals on low incomes will join us to enjoy a memorable and meaningful visit. We want The Roman Baths to be open, welcoming and accessible to all.”
The £1 ticket scheme forms part of Bath & North East Somerset Council’s wider commitment to making culture and heritage more accessible, especially at a time when many households are feeling the pressure of rising living costs. The hope is that this initiative will help more people discover - or rediscover - one of the UK’s most remarkable historic sites.
An allocation of £1 tickets will be available all year round, every day across all time slots and can be booked in advance online or by phone.
