Hi, my girlfriend and I are coming to England and will be spending her birthday in Bath. I was wondering if you have any suggestions on how to spend this special day in your town. We’ll be there in a week.

I would be very grateful.

Hello everyone!

I’m currently in the process of moving from the US to Bath this upcoming January, and I’m hoping to find a doggy daycare for my boy Webley!
Webley is a 4-year-old German Shepherd, Husky, and Schnauzer mix. He was originally a very social dog who loved being around other dogs, but shortly after being neutered, he began developing reactivity. Over the past two years, I’ve worked incredibly hard to help him rebuild his confidence and learn to trust other dogs again.
He’s been through professional training, is fully muzzle-trained, has great obedience, and is currently on fluoxetine (Prozac) to help with his reactivity.

One of the biggest things that has helped him is his current doggy daycare! His daycare doesn’t just throw him into a large group of dogs. Instead, they carefully assessed his behavior and introduced him to a small group of dogs whose personalities and play styles are compatible with his. He now regularly attends daycare and genuinely enjoys being around his doggy friends!
It’s been amazing watching him become more confident and comfortable around other dogs again. He’s made so much progress, and I really don’t want him to lose that when we move.
To be completely transparent, Webley is still dog-selective. He generally does well around other dogs, but he can become uncomfortable when overly excited dogs rush into his personal space or when play becomes too intense. He does best with dogs that respect boundaries and with handlers who understand canine body language and can intervene before situations escalate.

I’m not looking for a daycare that will simply put him in a room with 20 other dogs. I’m hoping to find somewhere that offers structured socialization, carefully matched playgroups, experienced handlers, and ideally experience working with reactive or dog-selective dogs.
I’m more than happy to arrange assessments, trial sessions, or even private training before introducing him to a group. His safety and the safety of other dogs will always be my priority.
Webley has come such a long way, and seeing him enjoy being a dog again has honestly meant the world to me. I would love to continue building on that progress rather than starting over.

Does an anyone know of any daycares or structured socialization programs in Bath that might be a good fit?

I’d really appreciate any recommendations or personal experiences! Thank you!!

Does anyone have experience using FlixBus to travel to and from Heathrow Airport? I usually take the National Express although it is significantly more expensive than FlixBus. It would be an early morning trip (~5-6am). I’ve read some bad reviews on FlixBus reliability (bus late, bus not showing up) but I’m not sure if it’s relevant to FlixBus in Bath.

The back garden windows are only accessible by walking through the house which makes it a bit trickier, wondering if anyone can recommend a reliable local company

Bf is coming up for the weekend and would like to treat him - any recs would be great! Thank you

Hey everyone! Thanks to the mods for letting me post.

I’m taking part in Ultra White Collar Boxing on November 14th, an event bringing together first-time fighters from Bristol, Bath, Wales, and the surrounding areas for a night of boxing and MMA.

I’ve never boxed before, so this has been a completely new challenge! We’re taking part in an eight-week training program, and fighters are raising money for charities, including Cancer Research UK & Mental Health Foundation.

I’ve hit my fundraising target, but I still need to sell tickets to cover my insurance and secure my place in the program. My deadline is tonight, so I’m making one last push to get enough tickets sold.

I’ve already put three weeks of training into this and would really love to see it through!
Tickets are £38, and if you fancy a night of fights while supporting the participants and their causes, I’d be very grateful.
Tickets: https://tickitup.co/uk/events/uwcb-bristol-14-11-2026/

There will be future events too, so if you’ve ever been curious about trying something like this yourself, keep an eye out for the next one.

Thanks for reading- even sharing the post would help!

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knew of any pub quizzes that took place routinely on Saturday nights in the centre?

I'm tempted to be taking a mate there for a stag, and will likely be in the centre on a Saturday night next year. A pub quiz is the sort of social activity that might work well, but I'm aware they usually have them on weekday nights! Thanks in advance!

I’m soon to start renovating our new (to us) house in Lansdown (BA1) which I know is a conservation area (the house isn’t listed). Anyone know how strict the planning team is with roof lights, please? The house has one already but probably needs three (two extra). Thanks for any insights.

Hello,

We are getting married next July and looking for somewhere lovely to have our post ceremony meal, for 14-16 guests. We are getting married on a Saturday and it will be between 3pm-5:30pm due to the ceremony time. We would just love somewhere with lovely food and drinks, with a private room or space, any suggestions would be fab.

I have a residential electrical issue and hoping for a recommendation for good electrician with a fair price. I called one place who is charging an upfront £200 fee for them to come out next week. I'm not sure if that is normal price.

Hi there,

Any local football teams in Bath that anyone could direct us to?

Or casual stuff, especially on a Tuesday?

I've found a ring in the sand by the cafe benches. Will return to owner if they can describe it. Thanks!

Hey guys, anyone joining in January intake 2027 for Msc Finance?
Let’s connect

I’ve had the worst experience with the gym group.

Before my membership rolled over the next month I decided to move down to the off peak as on peak is just ridiculously busy. Saw you could change this through the app - fantastic. All went through no problem.

The next day, they refunded the amount I had just paid, and instead taken out my old membership cost instead. I was annoyed, having received no communication as to why they refunded it and I then spent two hours waiting on the live chat to speak to someone to fix it. Four hours later (when I had given up) I received a passive aggressive message saying I "must no longer require assistance as I wasn’t around when the agent became available". I wasn’t about to wait around for four hours!

For the next three days I attempted to contact them through live chat getting the same result. I then found a number to call which gave an auto response saying they didn’t take calls and try the live chat.

Then the next day, they took out another amount of money, a much smaller amount this time again with no communication and no context. They’ve done this twice now!

I then found an enquiry form on the website and an email where I thoroughly outlined all the issues I was having and asked them investigate why they were continuously taking money out of my account to which I contacted only to received an auto email linking a bunch of useless support articles!!!!!

Apparently you also can’t ask staff at the gym to help you either with account enquiries, that’s only a head office issue. I’m beyond annoyed by this point.

I have submitted through my bank a direct debit refund which will take weeks and hopefully block them going forward.

Doing some research, this unfortunately seems common for the gym group. While the gym itself is great and I loved the app I have to warn other people from using it. I will never recoup the money it seems and I can’t even cancel.

Does anyone have an actual email or number or way I can resolve this??

Hi all. I live over in Chippenham and have been asked to host a team day in my local area for between 6-8 people. The morning is fine (collocate for some work on how we get better as a team etc).

The help I need is figuring out something interesting to do in the afternoon. Previous work days have included: going paddle boarding, shooting and going to a f1 simulator!

I hope that Bath can do me and the area proud and have something unique and cool.

I know the general consensus is forced fun with colleagues isn’t fun but would love to discover something new and cool!

Is this what is permanently in the old M&S now then?

27F in a long-term F/F relationship. Are there any churches in Bath that are gay friendly? I'm not saying they have to make a song and dance about it, but just any church where I wouldn't have to lie about my partner's gender and wouldn't be encouraged to 'change'.

Hi! I’m starting a new job next week that requires me to be at work for 7:30. My best bet is the number 8 bus that leaves the bus station at 6:59. Does anyone know if that bus is reliable/timely? I would say a maximum of a 7 minute buffer would be the most time I could afford to lose.

Thanks!

Hello everybody!

Im a local and looking to build my gardening tool collection to help with work and keep busy in my garden, im wondering two things, if anyone has any tools they dont want or need anymore, specifically loppers and trowels but theres lots more I need to get too, would be easier to tell you what I already have honestly.

Anyways, the second is I'd like to be practicing on gardening, im not the fastest but Id be happy to sort out an arrangement for different kinds of payment or donations in exchange for helping with some work.

Let me know what you think and what you could provide.

Please DM me if youre interested. Lots of love to you all, have a good evening!! ❤️ 🙏

Lately, I’ve seen lorries around the old M&S and noticed clothing inside. Does anyone know if they’re opening something new there?

Hi everyone! Just wondering if anyone has found a wallet in Larkhall today (Friday 9th October), around 4:30pm.

It belongs to a friend from Italy who’s visiting Bath for a few days.

We’d be incredibly grateful if the wallet could be returned, especially the ID, driving licence and other personal documents. Being a tourist in a foreign country without these documents is really stressful and complicated.

If anyone has found it or has any information, please send me a message. Even if the cards or money are gone, getting the personal documents back would mean a lot.

Thank you so much for any help!

does someone know this busker?
