Looking to spend Christmas away from home this year? If you want to escape for the holidays, then there are few better places than Dorset.
Dorset is a lovely place to visit throughout the year thanks to its spectacular natural beauty, but there is something magical about the county during the holidays when you can enjoy wintery walks, lively festive markets, cosy villages, and plenty of other highlights.
Dorset Christmas Markets
The Christmas markets in Dorset are sure to get you in the mood for the holidays and there are many excellent ones to choose from in Bournemouth, Poole, Weymouth, Dorchester, and other places. You can enjoy the magical atmosphere at these vibrant markets where you can stroll around enjoying tasty treats and beverages, buying gifts, and stocking up on supplies to enjoy during your stay – bliss!
Lights Festival and Experiences
There are also plenty of fun family experiences to enjoy over the holiday period on a weekend away in Dorset and it is easy to see why many are looking for static caravans for sale in the area. The Nutley Farm Christmas Lights & Reindeer Experience will get you and the kids in the mood with an incredible illuminated walkway with Christmas decorations as well as the chance to feed a friendly reindeer. Another fun family experience is the Swanage Railway Steam & Lights which will take you on a magical stream train journey through the picturesque countryside. There are also lots of Dorset Christmas Lights Switch-on events, so be sure to look around near where you are staying.
Wreath-Making
Another enjoyable way to spend a festive vacation in Dorset will be through wreath-making workshops. This is a chance for you and the family to get creative and enjoy a hands-on experience and you will be amazed at just how much there is to learn when making a pretty Christmas wreath that you can then proudly display at home. There are many Christmas wreath-making workshops throughout Dorset, but keep in mind that they are hugely popular so you should always book in advance to avoid disappointment. If you do not make it into a workshop or you would rather make them at home, there is a lot of helpful information online that will help you to make your wreaths.
