Tourism in Bath is set to see another boost as the trailer for season four of the popular show Bridgerton is released.

Many of the scenes from the period drama, based on bestselling books by Julia Quinn, have been filmed in the city.

Emma Freyling from Visit Bath said: “The value to the local economy is about £5m, from the afternoon teas, walking tours and hotel stays all themed around Bridgerton.

“You can see beautiful Bath in the backdrop like The Royal Crescent, The Circus and Great Pulteney Street,” she added.
