Bath BID to launch new festival of wellbeing for the city in 2023

ReBalance Bath will bring together venues, hotels, therapists, and practitioners for a three-week celebration of wellness and the city’s connections to thermal waters for local residents, city-centre workers and visitors to enjoy from 7 – 25 February 2023. The ReBalance Bath programme of activity will include many free events and taster sessions alongside luxury spa hotel packages and bookable activities.  

Centred around the seven pillars of wellness: physical, mental, social, financial, spiritual, vocational and environmental, event highlights include:

• Aqua Sauna at Thermae Bath Spa
• Laughter yoga with The Vitality Studio 
• Guided meditation and Sound Baths at The Soul Spa
• Motivational talks with Bath Rugby Foundation 
• Cold water therapy at Cleveland Pools
• Teen Yoga
• Ocean film showings at Komedia
• Kintsugi workshop and a Chado Tea Ceremony with Japanese restaurant Robun
• Re:Balance Bath Ambassador Amy Williams, MBE, talking about her new book ‘Talent to Triumph’ 
• Re:Balance Bath Marketplace at The Apex Bath, Saturday 11 February 
• Hand massage with Molton Brown
• Love your dog walk day
• Re-claim your brain with Robyn’s Yoga Studio 

BID Chief Executive Allison Herbert said “As the UK’s no. 1 spa city and with the recent second UNESCO accreditation as part of the Great Spas of Europe project, Bath should be delivering an event that celebrates the city’s unique thermal origins to bring new visitors to Bath, encourage local residents to try out wellness experiences in their city and give city-centre workers new lunch time and after work activities to enjoy.”

“Listening to our Levey Payers, we wanted to bring an event to the city in February when footfall needs boosting, and the time of year works well for wellbeing. We look forward to working with them over the next few months on Re:Balance Bath to create a festival with a dynamic and broad range of events and activities to suit all ages, increase awareness for their business and further promote Bath as a key spa and wellness destination.”

As well as reflecting the seven pillars of wellness, Re:Balance Bath will have themed days including Motivational Mondays, Water Wednesdays, Food Fridays and Soulful Sundays.
