Socially and environmentally conscious lifestyle brand Lucy & Yak is excited to announce the opening of its L&Y pop-up in Bath.

Located in the heart of Bath city centre on New Bond Street, L&Y will open its doors this weekend on Saturday 9 May.

Inside, customers will be able to explore its consciously designed collections, all crafted from ethically sourced, eco-friendly materials.

L&Y is designed for those who make a statement - just in a more understated way. While Lucy & Yak celebrates vibrant colours and bold expression, L&Y softly turns the dial down - offering a more muted, tranquil approach to dressing, with playful silhouettes and calming tones and gentle prints, while honouring the same commitment to
sustainability and ethics.

The new pop-up will feature a serene colour palette with touches of blue, terracotta and cream creating a calm and welcoming atmosphere. The store is fully accessible from street level and includes four thoughtfully designed changing rooms, one of which will be fully accessible.

Additionally, the pop-up will also feature a dedicated Lucy & Yak section, giving customers the opportunity to shop the brand’s core collections, new releases and fan favourites all in one place.

To celebrate the opening weekend, the first 200 visitors will receive an exclusive goody bag, with complimentary drinks and snacks on offer and 20% off all weekend.

Mon - Sat 9.30am - 5.30pm, Sun 10.30am - 4.30pm 

L&Y Bath, 24 New Bond St, Bath, BA1 1BA

Open Asparagus Lasagne with Crispy Serrano Ham

Make the most of British asparagus season while it lasts with this elegant, sophisticated yet super-easy pasta dish.

If you’re cooking for two, use just 4 lasagne sheets but make the same amount of sauce — it’ll keep in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 2 days and is delicious served on toasted muffins and topped with poached eggs for a luxurious brunch.

To make a vegetarian version, omit the Serrano ham and top with lightly-toasted white breadcrumbs for texture.

Bath Rugby Foundation is proud to announce that its 2026 Annual Fundraising Dinner raised over £55,000 to support vulnerable children and young people across Bath and the surrounding areas.

Held at DoubleTree by Hilton Bath, the evening welcomed more than 180 guests for a memorable night centred around the theme of belonging, community, and opportunity.

Guests enjoyed a drinks reception hosted by The Ivy Bath Brasserie before hearing from special guest speaker Johann van Graan, Head of Rugby at Bath Rugby. Johann delivered a powerful and inspiring talk on building a culture of belonging, reflecting on the importance of creating environments where people feel valued,
supported, and able to thrive.

Bath Rugby Foundation currently supports over 5,500 young people each year through programmes focused on education, employability, inclusion, and mental wellbeing. However, in a city where over 10,000 young people live below the poverty line, the need for support continues to grow.

Through education, 1-1 mentoring and sport, the Foundation works to build confidence, develop life skills, and create pathways to brighter futures for young
people across the community.
