Bath at Christmas Day Trip

A day trip from Ryde to Bath's Christmas market by hovercraft and coach, on Saturday 5 December 2026.

Hovertravel runs this one-day excursion from Ryde to Bath for its Christmas market, combining a short hovercraft hop across the Solent with a coach transfer the rest of the way. The hovercraft leaves Ryde at 08:15, arriving in Southsea by 08:25, where a coach then departs at 08:30 and reaches Bath by 11:00, giving the day in the city before the coach heads back at 15:45, reaching Southsea at 18:15 and connecting with the 18:45 hovercraft back to Ryde, landing at 18:55. Once in Bath, the day is yours to spend browsing the artisan stalls of the Christmas market, picking up gifts, and trying mulled wine, mince pies and other festive food, as well as taking in the Georgian streets and architecture the city is known for. Fares are £45 for adults and £35 for children (5-15) if travelling by hovercraft and coach from Ryde, or £23 for adults and £20 for children if joining by coach only from Southsea; infants under 5 travel free either way.
