Event Information
Your Vice President for PG students, Sean Strong, has secured funding to run another highly subsidised trip, exclusively for Postgraduate students.
The price of this trip has been slashed to allow as many people as possible to benefit, meaning we can offer this for just £10!
Tickets will go on sale on 4th June at 6pm. We expect this trip to be popular and recommend purchasing at this time. Previous tickets have sold out almost instantly.
Before purchasing, please ensure you’re able to attend, as tickets are heavily subsidised and availability is limited. Our aim is to help as many students as possible benefit from this funding. If your plans change, just let us know by the deadline below so that someone else can enjoy the trip. To help us manage these funded opportunities fairly, participants who do not attend without giving notice will be unable to book future funded trips.
To come to Bath is to take a step back in time to Quintessential England. Named after the Roman baths and natural hot springs, high society has been flocking to this refined city for centuries. You can visit one of the most famous Georgian properties, the Royal Crescent, built in the rich warmth of Bath stone. Yet, you might know Bath for its Roman Baths; spectacularly preserved, with over 2,000 years of history, you can walk in the footsteps of our predecessors. But Bath isn’t just for history buff’s; visit Bath’s rooftop thermal spa, indulge in some retail therapy or try a Bath bunn in Sally Lunn’s world-renowned tea house. This beautiful city is small enough to see in a day, but inspiring enough that it will remain large in your heart.
On the day of our trip is Bath Carnival, an annual celebration of culture with vibrant displays and festivities from over the world. All day there will be a live bands, walkabout acts and food and drink stalls in one of the city gardens. When you’re not relaxing in the gardens and taking in the atmosphere, this will be a great time to visit Bath’s many attractions. The highlight is the parade throughout the city centre, with music, costumes, dancers, floats and all the fun of the fair! You can find out more about the Carnival here: https://www.bathcarnival.co.uk/
This trip includes coach travel, suggestions of ways to spend your day and a trip leader, who will not stay with the group but can provide support if needed. There’s plenty to do in Bath for free but if you wish to enter attractions, this would be at your own cost. We strongly suggest booking tickets to the Roman Bath in advance if you wish to visit.
Important Information and Summary of Terms & Conditions
This is a summary of the terms & conditions for Give it a Go trips. Full terms and conditions can be found here: https://www.cardiffstudents.com/activities/give-it-a-go/faq/ Please note that in the case of any discrepancies, the terms & conditions on this page overrule the full terms & conditions.
- Tickets are heavily subsidised & limited, so we want to ensure that as many people as possible are able to benefit from this trip.
If you can no-longer attend, you must notify Give it a Go via email by 3pm on 10th July, so that we can offer your space to someone else who can benefit. Whilst we will be unable to offer a refund, this ensures that you can attend any potential future funded Give it a Go trips. Our email address is Giveitago@cardiff.ac.uk and this is the only way to notify us of a cancellation. If you do not notify us, or you notify us after the deadline, you will be unable to attend future funded and discounted Give it a Go trips.
- If you have previously no-showed for a Give it a Go funded trip in 2026, you will not be able to attend. Whilst you may be able to purchase a ticket, this will not be valid. Give it a Go will contact you prior to the trip to confirm the removal of your ticket and a refund will be issued. Our decision is final.
- The times listed on the event are from when the coach will leave the Student Union in the morning, until an approximate arrival back to Cardiff. You will be asked to arrive 15 minutes prior to departure, for boarding, in order to ensure the coach leaves on time. Arrival times back in Cardiff are subject to traffic, weather and road conditions, which are beyond our control, so we cannot guarantee exact time of arrival.
- The trips will go ahead regardless of weather conditions - please do come prepared. However, if we believe that it would be a better experience, we may change the location of the trip to somewhere with better weather/more indoor attractions. In this situation, this would be communicated via email and would you be given the option of a refund should you not wish to attend the new destination. In extreme or dangerous weather, where there is no suitable alternative, we would of course cancel for your safety.
- In the event we cancel a trip for any reason, you would be offered the option between a full refund or a rescheduled date (where it is possible to reschedule).
- If you will not be catching the outbound coach (Cardiff to the destination), please email giveitago@cardiff.ac.uk no later than the last working day before the trip at 5pm. If you will not be catching the return coach (destination to Cardiff), please let your trip leader know. If you do not do this on either journey, your seat may be forfeited and you will not receive a refund. For the avoidance of doubt, the last working day of the trip is the Friday immediately prior, unless that Friday is a bank holiday, in which case it would be the day prior.
