Christmas Break Itinerary

Day 1- AM

Kickstart the day with a full belly to keep you going for an exciting day of planned festive activities.

Breakfast- Whether you fancy a traditional full English breakfast, a sweet or savoury pancake, or grabbing a tasty nutritious bowl, the options are endless. We suggest you try out The Prom Café, Café Boscanova, Picnic Park Deli or Urban Garden to fill your breakfast desires.

Activities- Have a quick stroll down to the beach to stretch your legs, and while you are down there, venture into Pier Amusements to entertain yourself on some of our fun arcade games, and if you are feeling up to it, Rock Reef offers fantastic indoor climbing activities.

Adjacent to Pier Amusements, you will find the Oceanarium and Smugglers Cove, both brilliant venues to visit whilst down the beachfront.

Day 1- PM

As dusk draws in, now is the perfect time to head down to the gardens and visit Bournemouth’s Christmas Tree Wonderland! With the trees illuminated, festive music in the background, and a chilly breeze in the air, we are sure it will get you excited for the festive period ahead.

Dinner- You can either grab a bite to eat from the Christmas Market or visit the BH2 Complex which hosts many well known eateries.

Make sure to book Skate tickets in order to show off your skating skills, or if you are a novice, you can practice with a skating aid.

Day 2- AM

Shopping- Wander around the Alpine Christmas Market, and see what gifts you can pick up for family, friends, or even yourself – you deserve it! To add to your shopping experience, we still have fantastic high-street stores, so pop on down and take a look around. If you fancy a change of scenery, why not visit one of our local shopping centres; Castlepoint, Westbourne Arcade or Poole Dolphin Centre.

Hot Chocolate- Fancy something hot to warm you up? Head to Norris & Binglewort (located at the Christmas Market) for their epic hot chocolates, after all, you need something sweet to keep your energy levels up!

Day 2- PM

Sit back, relax and recover from your busy day by watching a Christmas film screening at the Odeon in Bournemouth’s BH2 Complex.
