Our guide to the perfect weekend in the city we're lucky to call home.
Honey-coloured stone glows in the morning light, quiet courtyards hide behind elegant Georgian streets, and every corner seem to lead to another independent shop, cosy café or peaceful garden. It's a city best explored without an agenda, where wandering is very much encouraged.
For us, Bath holds a special place in our hearts, so it's a wonder why we've never featured it before! It's home to our very first Bramley shop, tucked away in the beautiful Shires Yard, and a city that perfectly reflects everything we love: thoughtful craftsmanship, independent businesses, beautiful design and moments of everyday wellbeing.
Whether you're planning a weekend escape or simply looking for inspiration for your next day out, here's exactly how we'd spend 48 hours in Bath.
Saturday
10am | Start with coffee and a wander
The beauty of Bath is that everything is wonderfully walkable.
Leave the map behind and simply wander. Cobbled lanes to elegant crescents, independent shops sit beside centuries-old buildings, and hidden courtyards appear where you least expect them.
Eventually, you'll find yourself in Shires Yard.
11am | Visit Our Bramley Shop
No trip to Bath would be complete without a visit to our very first bricks-and-mortar shop.
Nestled in the peaceful courtyard of Shires Yar, our shop is filled with our complete collection, exclusive gifts, seasonal discoveries and, of course, plenty of opportunities to experience our products before choosing your favourites.
Our Shop Manager, Georgie, and team are always on hand to help you discover products that suit your skin, recommend thoughtful gifts or simply chat all things botanicals with a cup of tea.
Planning a visit? We'd love to welcome you.
Find Bramley Around Bath
Whilst our shop is home, you'll also discover Bramley in some of our favourite independent retailers across the city.
1pm | Lunch At Root
Right opposite us, you'll fine Root, one of our favourite neighbourhood restaurants.
Their seasonal, vegetable-led menu celebrates the very best local produce, with dishes designed for sharing. It's relaxed, beautifully simple and exactly the sort of place you'll wish you had closer to home.
3pm | Explore Bath Like A Local
We asked our Shop Manager, Georgie, a Bath local herself, to share some of her favourite ways to spend an afternoon in Bath.
Georgie's Favourite...
Hidden Corner: Coret, Shires Yard - A peaceful spot to escape the busy streets (next to Bramley!)
Independent Shop: SOMER, 6 Bartlett St - A place I'm incapable of leaving empty-handed
Best Coffee: Colonna and Smalls, Queen Sq for coffee, Matcha Thing, in the Corridor, for matcha - My go-to whenever I need a little afternoon pick-me-up
Favourite Walk: Alexandra Park Lookout (Bath looks like a toy town! Good for getting perspective) then into the Friends of Lyncombe Hill Fields OR Primrose Hill community Woodland - A beautiful route when I need a reset
Best Place To Sit With A Book: Up on the hill on the Approach Golf Course especially at sunset - Somewhere quiet where time seems to slow down
4pm | Move, Stretch & Restore at TONIQ
If your legs still have a little energy after exploring Bath's winding streets, we'd wholeheartedly recommend a visit to TONIQ.
More than just a gym, TONIQ is a welcoming wellness space built around movement, recovery and community. Whether you fancy an energising strength or ride class, a calming yoga session, breathwork, or simply unwinding in their restorative spa, it's the perfect way to recharge before dinner. Their philosophy of balancing movement with restoration feels wonderfully aligned with our own approach to everyday wellbeing.
And, of course, you'll find Bramley there too, ready to help you refresh after your workout.
6pm | Check Into Broad Street Townhouse
For a weekend that feels truly restorative, we'd recommend checking into Broad Street Townhouse, just a small stroll from our shop. Set within a beautiful Bath limestone townhouse, it combines elegant bedrooms with a relaxed café, cocktail bar and welcoming atmosphere that perfectly captures the city's laid-back charm. With just 11 beautifully designed rooms, it feels intimate, characterful and effortlessly comfortable.
Better still, you'll find Bramley products waiting for you in your room, so after a day spent exploring Bath's cobbled streets, independent shop and hidden courtyards, you can unwind with your favourite botanical rituals before sinking into bed.
Our tip: Check in, wander over to Shires Yard to say hello, spend the afternoon browsing Bath's independent boutiques, then finish the day dinner and a glass of wine before strolling back through the softly lit Georgian streets.

8pm | Dinner With Our Neighbours
We're incredibly lucky to be surrounded by some fantastic independent restaurants.
If you're craving handmade pasta, book a table at Magari, a cosy neighbourhood restaurant serving beautifully simple Italian food.
Or settle into the Beckford Canteen & Beckford Bottle Shop, where seasonal plates, fantastic wines and relaxed surroundings make lingering over dinner almost inevitable.
Whichever you choose, you're only a gentle stroll back to your hotel afterwards.
Sunday
9am | A Slower Start
Enjoy a leisurely breakfast before setting out to explore some of Bath's iconic landmarks.
Spend the morning wandering through the city, browse independent galleries and soak up the atmosphere that has made Bath one of Britain's most loved destinations.
There's no rush here.
That's rather the point.
11am | Discover Bramley Around Bath
Whilst our Shires Yard shop will always be home, you'll also spot Bramley in some of Bath's most-loved independent retailers.
A beautifully curated lifestyle store packed with timeless homeware, thoughtful gifts and design-led finds. If you love discovering independent brands, you'll happily lose an hour here.
One of Bath's most iconic department stores, Rossiters has been part of the city's shopping scene for generations. It's the perfect place to browse beautiful homeware, gifts and, of course, your favourite Bramley products.

Before You Head Home...
No Bramley weekend is complete without taking a little Botanical Magic™ home with you.
Whether it's a Hand Cream for your handbag, a Pillow Spray to remind you of your stay or your favourite refill to top up at home, we'd love to send you home with something that keeps the feeling of Bath going just a little longer.
