Bournemouth’s free festive trail
Christmas Tree Wonderland Postponed Christmas 2020!
Welcome
Bournemouth is instead set to be transformed into an open-air alpine village this Christmas. The very successful Christmas Tree Wonderland has been put on hold for 2020 and instead a Covid-conscious event is planned to celebrate the festivities from 13 November 2020 – 3 January 2021.
Organised by Seventa Events and backed by Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Tourism, Coastal BID, the Town Centre BID, Destination Management Board and Yellow Buses, the event will see the return of the Bethlehem tree, the much-loved reindeer and other lighting installations.
In order to maintain a steady flow of visitors for safety reasons, there will be fewer market stalls in The Square and the alpine bar will be a single-storey open-air attraction.
