Winter is coming and it is truly a magical time in Bournemouth with lots of festivities both indoors and out for everybody to enjoy! Scroll to the bottom to find activities listed to keep yourself busy in the winter.
The Alpine Market comes to Bournemouth Square every year and it wouldn’t be Christmas without it! It sets the scene of Christmas with its quaint chalets covered in fake snow and fairy lights, offering tasty festive treats and local crafts for stocking fillers.
The market is accompanied by the cosy Alpine Bar where you can enjoy a warm beverage, take a seat and watch the hussle and bussle of the Christmas shoppers.
The gardens transform into a Christmas Tree Wonderland, with impressive illuminations lighting up the night skies. The magical spectacle of glittering trees can be followed by a trail starting from the seafront into the lower gardens and beyond!
Skate under the stars at night as a real ice-skating rink can be found in the gardens, providing a perfect view of the Christmas Tree Wonderland!
So, get your winter warmers on and come to Bournemouth to get into the Christmas spirit- see you there!
