It may seem early to be talking about Christmas but if you're looking for that perfect base for a festive short break then look no further.
Christchurch High Street always looks splendid adorned with festive illuminations and a large tree brings Christmas cheer to the main shopping precinct for local residents.
Christchurch sparkles thanks to support from Christchurch Town Council and the Christchurch Chamber of Trade and Commerce, assuring a festival atmosphere in the town.
This quaint cobble-stoned town becomes ethereal as the night draws in: twinkling lights against the backdrop of rugged stone arches, black wooden beams and roaring hearths. The high street of boutique independent shops and snug, welcoming cafes is lined with stunning lights leading you deeper into the heart of the town.
Coastal villages across the conurbation also light up in readiness for the festivities.
The Priory, Regent Centre and other venues across town are planning their festive season.
As soon as the details of local attractions and events for Christmas are available we look forward to sharing them here on this page and on our social media channels.
Why not get ahead with the festive shopping and treat your loved one to a gift voucher for a local attraction, theatre, restaurant or even a weekend away in one of our fabulous hotels.
Highcliffe Castle gift vouchers could be a fantastic present this Christmas. Pop into or contact the Castle Shop to buy vouchers.
The Regent Centre also offer Christmas gift vouchers, a great gift for those wo enjoy live theatre performances.
Head to our special offers pages on our Bournemouth Tourism sister site for some great deals.
For a magical Christmas experience, just along the coast, visit Bournemouth’s Christmas Tree Wonderland. An atmosphere of good cheer is all around with a range of entertainment, dazzling light displays, sweet treats and so much more from 18 November 2022 – 2 January 2023.
The elves are just finalising the plans and will share them here as soon as we have more details.
At Christmas and in the lead up when many of us have family and friends close, it's great to wrap up and enjoy just being together for a walk in one of the many picture perfect parks and coastal locations in and around Christchurch.
Christchurch Quay or Avon Beach, there are so many beautiful open spaces, we are spoilt for choice. So if the weather's crisp and the outdoors is beckoning come out and play!
In the festive season we like to spread the cheer with travel and public transport offers. In previous years we've offered free parking on selected dates for festive shoppers and deals on bus travel and bike hire.
As soon as we have details of these for 2022 you will find them here.
