Unless you have been living on the moon for the past six months you will have heard of the forthcoming royal wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton which will be taking place on the 29th of April this year. Due to it being such an important and glamorous event cities and towns all throughout the country will be celebrating and putting on many different events.
One city that will be putting on numerous events to mark the royal wedding will be Bath in the South West. Many people will be flocking to the city to take advantage of its royal roots and it's very well organised festivities throughout the year.
Bath's Fashion Museum is hosting several special tea parties leading up to the royal event, visitors to the very popular and interesting museum will be able to learn all there is to know about royal wedding dresses through the ages. The tea event will also include free entry to the 'What will she wear?' exhibition, featuring some of the most glamorous and expensive wedding gowns and dresses to have been seen in the city.
Numerous venues in and around the city will be hosting traditional royal themed garden parties; traditionally these events include plenty of Earl Grey tea and rich and fruity wedding cake.
Past visitors to Bath will more then likely have visited the wonderful museum based at the city's architecturally famous Georgian building 'The Crescent'. The Georgian museum will be holding an exhibition between April and May which will give people the chance to explore everything they ever wanted to know about weddings during the Georgian period.
Bathcertainly has a lot of royal connections and links that date back to its very beginning. Legend has it that the city was first founded by an exiled prince that was cast from his kingdom as he had a form of leprosy. As the story goes he bathed within the natural springs that surfaced from the area and was cured. By means of gratitude the king began building what is now known as Bath.
Another connection between royalty and the city of bath is that the first ever king of England's coronation took place within the cities abbey. Visitors to the city can view the 'Edgar window' in the abbey that shows and depicts the event along with a plaque to commemorate the occasion.
As you can see Bath is the ideal choice of location to enjoy and celebrate the royal wedding this year with plenty going on over the period.
