Bath and Bristol swap food, fashion and park events in a two-way week

A Bath food business is heading to Bristol, Uniqlo is heading from Bristol into Bath, and an Oldbury Court walk is being co-run by a Bristol-Bath group.

Read together, the latest business and community notices show a two-way pattern between Bristol and Bath. The Business Desk South West reported that Green Street, a Bath butcher and sandwich shop, will open its first Bristol site at 100 Victoria Street [2]. In the other direction, Somerset County Gazette reported that Uniqlo will open an 8,000 sq ft store at SouthGate in Bath next spring, after opening its first South West branch in Bristol [6].

The cross-city link is also visible in public events. Bristol Older People's Forum said its Over 55s Sensory Tree Walk at Oldbury Court on Thursday 29 October will be hosted with Friends of Oldbury Court and Your Park Bristol and Bath [1], [5]. The walk will follow Oldbury Court's Tree Trail [1], [5].

Bath Abbey published its community news for Sunday 27 September 2026 [4]. The Business Desk South West reported that sectors from restaurant portions to dress sizes are struggling to keep up with shifting consumer demands [3]. BBC News Wiltshire reported that several first editions were bought by the 2nd Marquess of Bath during the author's lifetime [7].
