Always Sunday, Bath Travel Guide

Always Sunday began as an intimate supper club in a 200-year-old Bath townhouse, where founder Lexi Wareham-Dart brought together creative friends over shared meals, conversation, and carefully styled tablescapes. Everything on the table—from ceramics to glassware—was available to buy, blurring the line between home and shop. That concept evolved into a physical store on Walcot Street, then into the current, larger space at 9 Broad Street, where the same ethos lives on: a celebration of beautiful, functional objects made by local makers and artisans.The shop’s identity is deeply tied to its founder’s eye for colour, texture, and storytelling. It’s not just a place to buy things, but a space that invites you to imagine how those pieces might live in your own home. The transition from supper club to retail reflects a broader idea: that everyday rituals—eating, drinking, gathering—can be elevated through thoughtful design and a sense of occasion.

Stepping into Always Sunday on Broad Street feels like entering a carefully composed still life. The interior is light-filled and layered, with vintage furniture, curated stacks of books, and shelves arranged in soothing colour palettes. Homewares dominate: hand-thrown ceramics, enamel cookware, glassware, vases, and decorative objects that range from the quietly elegant to the boldly theatrical.Alongside homewares, the shop offers a tightly edited selection of beauty and wellbeing products, often organic and ethically made, as well as a range of gifts and lifestyle items. Many pieces are exclusive or limited edition, including the brand’s own enamel tableware collection in custom colourways inspired by the shop’s signature aesthetic. The overall effect is one of considered abundance—everything feels intentional, yet never fussy.

The store’s visual language is instantly recognisable: rich, saturated colours, playful patterns, and a mix of vintage and contemporary styles. Window displays are a highlight, often changing with the seasons or special themes, and they’ve become a small attraction in their own right, drawing passers-by into the shop.Inside, the atmosphere is relaxed but refined. It’s the kind of place where you can browse slowly, touch the objects, and imagine them in your own space. Staff are knowledgeable and approachable, happy to talk about the makers, materials, and stories behind the products. The space feels personal, almost like a very stylish friend’s home, rather than a generic retail environment.

Always Sunday has expanded beyond the Broad Street store into a wider lifestyle brand, including a pub-restaurant (Town+House) and a set of luxury Georgian cottages in Bath known as The Boltholes. These extensions share the same design DNA: rich colours, vintage touches, and a focus on creating memorable experiences around food, drink, and hospitality.For visitors, the shop is both a destination in itself and a gateway to the broader Always Sunday world. Whether you’re looking for a special gift, a statement piece for your home, or simply inspiration for how to live more beautifully, the store offers a distinctive blend of curation, craftsmanship, and charm. It’s a place that rewards repeat visits, as new pieces and collaborations regularly appear on the shelves.
