Bathscape reflections: Shaping a Landscape City

Bathscape reflections: Shaping a Landscape City Conference (speakers to be announced soon!)

Tuesday 23rd September 2025, 12 - 6.30pm

Join us for an afternoon bringing together experts, practitioners, researchers and inspirational community groups, to discuss all things Bathscape and beyond.

Our interactive sessions will reflect on Bath's landscape past and present, as well as challenging the city to think about what the future holds. We'll consider what the Bathscape partnership has achieved, and much wider themes about the future of our city's built and natural environments and people's access to nature.

Meet and hear from local organisations working in Bath's communities. They will share their projects, outline how these are helping to shape Bathscape, and encourage discussion about future action and collaboration.

Detailed speaker information to follow later in July and early August...watch this space!
