Christmas in Poole centres around the beautiful and historic Poole Quay, the winding and eclectic High Street with its mix of shops and cafes and Falkland Square.
The elves are busy making plans for Christmas 2022 but it's not too early to plan a short break or daytrip to Poole. We've heard there are some exciting fun events planned and a trip to Poole will not disappoint.
In 2021 the streets were filled with the sounds of music and choirs from pop up events and the twinkling of Christmas lights throughout the town cast a magical glow. The elves say that 2022 will be even better! Poole was made for Christmas and the lights provide the boutiques, coffee shops, pubs and cafes with a distinctly Dickensian feel.
Events and attractions
There's always something to see or do, with Lighthouse, Poole playing host to live events including a panto, and entertainment in the High Street, with plans for regular live music and a festive market all being finalised.
As soon as details are released we'll share them all here on this page.
