We know…not a Christmas blog in September, but after a year that saw the UK cancel Christmas we thought it was only right to get the countdown to Christmas started earlier! So pass us the knitwear and pour yourself a hot chocolate as we countdown the 5 UK Christmas markets that we can’t wait to return!
- Bournemouth.
Ok, we’ll admit we’re a little bias on this one. Having operated the Christmas Market for the past 4 seasons, we can’t wait to be back on site as both Seventa Events & Innovative Hire and delivering almost 2 months of festive cheer to the heart of Bournemouth’s Christmas celebrations.
Back to bring the cheer this year, we have our signature two storey Alpine Bar ready to take centre stage in the town centre and on hand to deliver all of your festive favourites such as mulled wine, ice cold lagers and hot drinks whilst Christmas anthems fill the air.
With the Alpine Lodge at it’s heart, the market continues to grow with over 30 independent traders ready to solve all your gift giving problems with an array of local produce and handmade gifts alongside mouth-watering food stalls from classic hog roasts and hot chocolates all the way to the iconic Yorkshire Wrap!
Lighting the way to the market the Christmas Tree Wonderland (www.christmastreewonderland.co.uk) returns with over 100 illuminations and their world famous 60ft walk through tree experience – the perfect excuse to grab those festive selfies. The fun doesn’t stop there as Bournemouth’s festive offering continues to expand with larger than ever before SKATE ice rink setting up camp in Bournemouth’s lower gardens – ideal for your pre or post market visits.
