This abbey is in fantastic condition. I have not seen many with such lovely fan vaulted ceilings including quite vivid colours. There are a huge number of stained glass windows that are great too. … Full review by stripeyshirt

Hi They recommend a donation and there are volunteers at the front desk who organise this. There is a basket for you to put your donation in but in reality you could either not donate or put a small amount in, depending on your finances. Churches are free to enter and any donation is a voluntary thing. I think that Bath Abbey volunteers are keen to protect their Abbey and have thought about the number of visitors who are drawn to visit and have made suggestions about what amount they feel is appropriate. We gave a donation of £3 for 2 of us on the way in and would have happily donated more on the way out had we felt that we hadn’t offered enough. I hope that’s helpful.
