Swanage Christmas Market

Search for the perfect handmade Christmas gift at one of the stalls and enjoy a hot mulled wine or cider, whilst the kids visit Father Christmas’ Grotto or play on the merry-go-round. There’s also a small stage with festive entertainment and various street food vendors. Over 50 stalls will be lining Station Road and nearby Institute Road, and you could also go and check out Artisans By The Beach at Shore Road Beach Huts for a unique gift shopping experience.
