CHRISTMAS IN BOURNEMOUTH
Christmas is a fantastic place to come and share the Christmas festivities with your loved ones. Situated on the south coast with 7 miles of golden sand, Bournemouth is commonly a Summer holiday destination, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t as charming in the Winter, with lots to do!
Starting on the 15th November 2024, the Christmas Tree Wonderland brings the town to life! A spectacular Christmas trail through Bournemouth’s lower gardens with enchanting illuminations, full of magic, sparkle and wonder, the Christmas Tree Wonderland trail will come to life with regular light shows, animated characters and live music along the route featuring over 100 glittering trees and illuminations.
Other highlights include the Alpine Christmas Market with gifts and food from near and far, along with the Alpine Bar, where you can relax with a mulled wine, to break up the Christmas shopping on offer.
Also in the gardens, you will find SKATE. The outside ice skating rink is situated close to the Alpine marker and brings some Christmas cheer to Bournemouth Gardens. You don’t need to be an ice skating pro, there are penguin aids to keep you upright throughout your skate!
A short walk away will take you to the Pavilion Theatre, where this year you will find Jack and the Beanstalk as the feature pantomime.


Christmas in Poole!
Poole Maritime Christmas Light trail runs from 23rd November 2024 through to the New Year. Why not visit the Lighthouse for a Christmas Pantomime with this year’s rendition of Sleeping Beauty.
The high street, filled with independent shops as well as more common retail shops will be decorated with lights, creating a perfect setting for your Christmas shopping.

Christmas in Christchurch
Santa and his Elves have been working hard all year to create a Winter Wonderland village at Stewarts Garden Centre for all to enjoy this Christmas. From the Elves’ workshops to Rudolph’s stables prepare for a journey through Santa’s Winter Wonderland village. Santa’s friendly elves will guide you through the magical snowy walkway to meet him in his grotto. Have your photo taken with him and, if you’ve been good this year you might even get a present!
