Bridgerton in BathIf you've visited Bath since 2019, you may have caught sight of actors dressed in exquisite period costumes, accompanied by horses and carriages. The camera crews are courtesy of Bridgerton, a hit series first released worldwide by Netflix on Christmas Day 2020, which swiftly became the platform's biggest show to air at the time, reaching a massive 82 million households in its first 28 days. The third season is due to be released in two parts on 16 May and 13 June 2024 respectively, reigniting the Regency fever.Bath has a starring role in the series, with many of the city's golden Georgian stone buildings used as a backdrop, standing in for the streets of Regency London. From award-winning attractions including The Holburne Museum (Lady Danbury's grand mansion) and No.1 Royal Crescent (the Featherington family home) to picture-perfect cobbled streets, you'll be able to follow in the footsteps of your favourite characters across the city. Don't miss The Abbey Deli on Abbey Green, which plays the infamous Modiste during the first season of the series, where you can pick up a range of Bridgerton-inspired merchandise and enjoy afternoon tea.
