Perhaps unsurprisingly for a city with wellbeing at its heart, Bath has a strong sporting spirit. Elite athletes train here; it’s home to historic Premiership side Bath Rugby and the beautiful green spaces serve as a scenic backdrop to outdoor activities. 

Here’s how you could bring delegates together for an invigorating sports-themed day in Bath.  

Morning - Train like the pros at Team Bath

Explore the Sports Training Village at the University of Bath, a hub for hundreds of athletes, coaches, physiotherapists and sports scientists. The expert team will plan an activity for you to have a go at the first-class facilities. One of the most popular is bobsleigh and skeleton on the UK’s only push-start track, where 2010 Winter Olympic winners, Amy Williams and Lizzy Yarnold, trained.

Afternoon - Take to the water with Wild Swim Bike Run 

Hop on your aquatic mode of transport of choice – kayak, paddleboard, or a mega paddleboard for groups – and take in Bath from the River Avon. The Wild Swim Bike Run team can lead you on a guided tour, pointing out local landmarks along the way. Alternatively, you can stay on land and enjoy a themed walk or bike/ebike trail.

Evening - Catch a live sporting event in Bath  

There’s nothing like the thrill of being a spectator of live sport and in Bath, there are two top destinations to take to the stands – or better still, enjoy first-class hospitality. First up is the Recreation Ground, home ground of Bath Rugby and one of England’s most iconic stadiums. Settle into an Executive Box for a birds-eye view of a Gallagher Premiership game from your own private balcony.  

There’s also the chance to watch the “sport of kings” at Bath Racecourse. With hospitality packages, private suites and a rooftop garden all available to hire, there are plenty of ways to make your trackside experience even more memorable.

After the day of sporting excitement, kick back in one of the modern rooms at the luxurious four-star Apex City of Bath Hotel. You’ll be pleased to encounter the tranquil pool complete with heated poolside loungers, while a delicious dinner awaits in the contemporary Orange Artichoke restaurant among bright Scandi-style interiors.
