Festive Carols & Local Choirs at Bournemouth Square

Join us for a festive sing-along in the heart of Bournemouth!

There is nothing quite like the sound of live Christmas music filling the air to ignite that heartwarming festive spirit. This winter, gather your friends and family in Bournemouth Square as the crisp evening air is transformed into a spectacular symphony of seasonal joy.

Located right next to the bustling Alpine Lodge, the main stage will play host to a wonderful programme of free live entertainment throughout the festive season. We are bringing in a jolly sleigh-load of local community choirs, traditional carol singers, marching bands, and talented vocal groups to serenade you as you soak up the Christmas magic.

Whether you are taking a break from Christmas shopping or making a dedicated evening trip, gather your friends and family, grab a luxury hot chocolate or a warming mulled wine, find a spot by the stage, and join us in the heart of Bournemouth for a little festive cheer.

Performances include:

• Traditional Christmas Carols
• Live local choirs (including the Love Soul Choir, Rock Choir, and Resonate Choir)
• Brass and Youth Marching Bands
• Local solo artists and vocal trios

Do I need a ticket?

‍No! All stage performances in Bournemouth Square are completely free to enjoy and open to everyone. Simply turn up, grab a warm drink, and join in the festive cheer.
