Celebrating the Bath Spring Fair: StavesArt Brings Hand‑Drawn City Art to a Historic Roman City

We’re Heading to the Bath Spring Fayre — And We Can’t Wait

This weekend, from 8–10 May, StavesArt is thrilled to be exhibiting at the Bath Spring Fayre, one of the South West’s most vibrant seasonal markets. Set in a city known for its golden stone, sweeping crescents, and ancient Roman roots, Bath is the perfect backdrop for a celebration of creativity, craftsmanship, and community.

For us, Bath isn’t just a location — it’s a story. And stories are at the heart of everything we draw.

Few cities in the UK carry such a distinctive visual identity. Bath’s honey‑coloured Georgian architecture, its Roman Baths, and the iconic Royal Crescent make it instantly recognisable — and endlessly inspiring.

A Brief History of Bath

  • Roman Origins: Bath began as Aquae Sulis, a Roman spa town built around natural hot springs. The Roman Baths remain one of the best‑preserved ancient religious spas in the world.

  • Georgian Golden Age: In the 18th century, Bath transformed into a fashionable social hub. Architects like John Wood the Elder and Younger shaped the city with masterpieces such as the Royal Crescent, The Circus, and Pulteney Bridge.

  • UNESCO World Heritage Status: Bath is one of the few entire cities in the world designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site — a testament to its architectural harmony and cultural significance.

This blend of Roman engineering, Georgian elegance, and natural beauty makes Bath a dream subject for StavesArt’s intricate, hand‑drawn style.

At this weekend’s fayre, we’ll be bringing a curated selection of our most loved pieces — including:

  • City Globes featuring iconic UK locations

  • Stadium Spirals celebrating football culture

  • Fantasy Worlds for lovers of storytelling and imagination

  • Travel‑inspired artwork perfect for wanderers and weekend explorers

Bath’s own architectural rhythm fits beautifully with the StavesArt ethos: cities drawn as living, breathing worlds full of landmarks, memories, and hidden details.

Whether you’re a Bath local, a visitor, or someone who simply loves cities with character, there’ll be something on our stall that speaks to you.

We’ll be at the Bath Spring Fayre from 8–10 May, ready to chat, showcase our artwork, and help you find the perfect piece — whether it’s for your home, a gift, or a reminder of a city close to your heart.

If you’re exploring Bath this weekend, come say hello. We’d love to share our world with you.
