The Claverton Pumping Station is a rare surviving example of the technology of the Georgian Regency period. The pump started work in 1813, the year Pride and Prejudice was published.

The pump uses the power of the River Avon to drive a massive waterwheel, this then lifts water up 48ft into the Kennet and Avon Canal. Burning no fuel and making no waste it is the ultimate in environmentally friendly technology.

From April to October, the station welcomes visitors on the second Saturday and Tuesday of each month, as well as the Early May Bank Holiday. The pump will be run on the Saturday open days. On Tuesdays the pumphouse will be open but the pump may not be running. Running of the pump is subject to river conditions, ageing machinery, and ageing volunteers!

King King + Laura Evans
2025-10-12 18:30 - 20:30 | BANES
Throughout the music industry, King King is a name that’s not only synonymous with great music and outstanding musicianship, but with having a damn good time every time.

Having never been a band content to simply ride the crest of their self-made wave, King King have instead continued to work tirelessly to make that wave even bigger, stronger and ultimately better.

After 2 long years which saw the music business on its knees, the band – led by guitarist and frontman Alan Nimmo – have not only survived but have come back with a new line-up and an extra edge that is the envy of many of their peers.

The addition of Alan’s brother Stevie on second guitar and vocals has added a breath of fresh air and a new dimension to the band. Added to the already stunning line up of Jonny Dyke (keys), and fellow Scots Andrew Scott (drums) and Zander Greenshields (bass), the mighty King King is sounding arguably the best it ever has.

Jane Eyre: An Autobiography
2025-10-13 00:00 - 2025-10-15 23:59 | Ustinov Studio, 1 Saw Close, Bath, BANES, BA1 1EY, United Kingdom
In the face of the isolation and abandonment of a loveless childhood, Jane Eyre refuses to bend to the will of her abusers. But does she achieve the independence and equality that she craves, and does her resistance change anything?

Hailed as a “brilliantly engaging piece of drama” and “a theatrical tour de force”, Live Wire and Roughhouse Theatres’ inventive exploration of the status of women in society make this critically acclaimed dramatisation as relevant today as Charlotte Bronte’s original novel was 178 years ago.

“Here is a company of technical brilliance, with a rare gift for bringing classics to life with loyalty, energy and intrigue.” Female Arts

“This is the way to introduce recalcitrant students of literature to the classics and in particular the Victorian novel.” British Theatre Guide

Alex Riley for Super Natural: How Life Thrives in Impossible Places
2025-10-13 18:30 - 21:00 | Topping & Company Booksellers of Bath, York Street, Bath, BA1 1NG, United Kingdom
‘A thrilling and original way to explore nature – the science is fascinating.’ Tristan Gooley, Sunday Times bestselling author of How to Read a Tree.

From scorching deserts to frozen seabeds, from the highest peaks of the Himalaya to the hadal depths of the oceans, there are habitats on this Earth that appear inimical to life – yet in which it flourishes nevertheless. During the midday heat of the Sahara, silvery ants sprint from their nests to feed. In North American forests, wood frogs awaken each spring from solid blocks of ice. At the site of the Chernobyl disaster, fungi harness radiation to thrive.

Transporting readers to far-flung environments we could never call home, Super Natural paints an awe-inspiring portrait of life’s resilience and ingenuity under the harshest circumstances. We meet creatures exquisitely adapted to endure unimaginable deprivations: of water, oxygen, food, sunlight. Alex Riley shows how, at nature’s extremes, the rules of life as we know them are rewritten – and how, here, we can find hope for the future of life on Earth, and beyond.

Alex Riley is an award-winning science writer focusing on long-form features in evolutionary biology, conservation and health. His work has appeared in Aeon, Nautilus, New Scientist, BBC Earth and BBC Future. His first book, A Cure for Darkness, was published by Ebury in 2021.

Brunelleschi, Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Martin Luther, Cervantes, Shakespeare, Chaucer, Machiavelli, Hieronymus Bosch, if you love culture then you’ll love our new talks series!

And now for a talk on one of the most flamboyant and gifted characters of the Elizabethan era, Robert Dudley (1574-1649), “base son” of Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester.

Banished for bigamously marrying one of Elizabeth’s ladies-in-waiting, he spent the rest of his life in the service of the de Medici in Tuscany, where his talents were greatly appreciated. “He was skilled in philosophy, chemistry and physics and perfectly acquainted with all branches of mathematics and the means of applying them for the service and benefit of mankind…”

His encyclopaedic Alcano del mare has been described as “one of the greatest atlases of the World – and one of the most complex ever produced”. Dudley left his scientific and navigational instruments and manuscripts to his patron, Ferdinand II, which are now on display in the Museo Gallileo, Florence.

Periods around the world: How can we deliver menstrual justice?
2025-10-14 18:00 - 19:30 | Mission Theatre, 32 Corn Street, Bath, Bath & North East Somerset, BA1 1UF, United Kingdom
After hundreds of years of silence and stigma, menstruation is now a hot topic and old taboos are being challenged. Governments and other organisations around the world have been taking action, birthing programmes to end ‘period poverty’. Around the UK, it’s become commonplace to see baskets of period products in women’s toilets in workplaces, cafés, pubs and more. But millions of women, girls and trans people around the world still can’t access everything they need for their periods, and even more live with the stigma and discrimination still attached to menstruation.

How have civil society organisations stepped up to tackle period poverty in their communities? And what gets left out when we focus on period products? What else do we need to do to deliver menstrual justice worldwide? As part of the University of Baths Festival of Social Sciences and to mark the 50th Anniversary of our centre for Development Studies, our expert Minerva panel will tackle these questions and more.

The panel discussion will be one hour long, will include a free drink and some time at the end for informal chatting.
