Overview

Enter a world of Christmas in Poole, with this FREE Christmas attraction! Be prepared to be dazzled as thousands of twinkling lights take you on a nautical journey. Immerse yourself in a magical maritime Christmas as you follow the light trail from Falkland Square, through the High Street and onto Poole Quay. 2024 features a number of impressive light installations, including a galleon, walk-through lantern and bauble, an anchor as well as Christmas tree installations including the 13 metre blue sealife tree in Falkland Square. We also have  garlands, icicles, beautifully wrapped trees, and a marine 'ceiling of light' featuring fish and starfish. (See link to Poole Christmas Maritime Light Trail below)

Add to that with a walk through parkland around the boating lake and along the Poole Harbour front in the dark - so bring torches.  Print out the trail map which is on the link provided.
