Editorial, never paid. How the Dad Score works
Over 150 twinkling chalets fill the Georgian streets around Bath Abbey and Abbey Churchyard from 26 November to 13 December 2026. You wander together past stalls selling handmade gifts and festive food, with choirs and street performers along the way. Open daily, with longer hours Thursday to Saturday.
Why it works for a dad and child
You walk the stalls side by side, picking gifts, sharing mulled wine and hot chocolate, and stopping for the choirs and carol singers together rather than one of you watching the other.
