A series of evening music sessions is being held at the Roman Baths in Bath in the hope of attracting new visitors.<\/p>\n

The historic site is running nights for DJs playing vinyls as well as for live acoustic musicians as part of its Summer Lates programme throughout August.<\/p>\n

Nigel Fryatt from Polymathic, a technology agency involved in the events, said the sessions make him feel “connected” to the Romans.<\/p>\n

“There’s a great connection with what we’re doing here now and what happened back during that time in history,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Bath and North East Somerset Council also helped organise the sessions. Its leader, Kevin Guy, said the performances continued a tradition of the space being used as a place where people come together, but in a “bold and contemporary way”.<\/p>\n

Mr Guy said the events reflect “our ongoing commitment to sharing Bath’s heritage in ways that are creative and relevant”.<\/p>\n

Penny Jenkins from the Roman Baths said she hopes the sessions attract a new audience to the historic site.<\/p>\n

“We feel very much you might be a history lover but we also want more than history lovers to come to the Roman Baths,” she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Entry to the weekend events cost the same as daytime visiting prices but locals with a Bath Discovery Card can get in for free.<\/p>\n

The sessions were also curated in partnership with Bath Arts Collective, Bath Carnival, and 7 Hills Festival.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
