Event: Swanage Christmas Market 2024

Date Event: 2nd December 2024

Swanage Christmas Market is back for 2023! The popular annual event is set to take place on 2nd December 2024 and promises to be a great family day out!

The Swanage Christmas Market is one of Purbeck’s most cherished Christmas events. With the tradition of local traders lining the Station Road street set to continue this holiday season, we can’t wait to see what the organisers, Swanage & Purbeck Rotary, have in store for the market this year!

We are awaiting updates for 2024 Swanage Christmas Market! We shall update this page as soon as information becomes available to us – in the meantime, please browse last year’s events:

Festive fun for all ages

The market typically features merry-go-round rides and games, which children will love! Whilst the little ones are having fun, why not grab a hot mulled wine and really get in the Christmas spirit. Swanage is held in high regard for having delicious local food, and the Christmas Market loves to showcase this! Treat yourself to some delicious hot food… it’d be rude not to in the chilly December weather!

Grab yourself a bargain

Alongside festive food and drink, the market’s traders also provide a range of beautiful handmade gifts that you won’t find in high street retailers. There aren’t many presents more magical than a handmade gift from the Christmas Market. Make sure you’re on the hunt for a bargain!

Visit Santa’s Sleigh

The Swanage Christmas Market wouldn’t be complete without a visit from Saint Nick himself. Children will cherish the memory of visiting Santa’s Sleigh.

Event Info

With children’s rides, handmade gifts, hot food and drink, Christmas music and more, The Swanage Christmas Market is a must-visit this Christmas. There may even be some performances…

More details and information coming soon! To keep in the loop, visit the Swanage website soon for more information.

What our guests say

  • A lovely quiet site

    Andy Blackwell

    A lovely quiet site, nice warm amenities with good sized shower cubicles, shop not open yet as it’s too early but the local pub is ideal. Staff were very friendly and helpful. If you’re reasonably fit you can walk into Swanage but the bus service is great so why would you want to. Overall a very nice break, we will be back.

  • Super swimming pool

    Joseph Molford

    We have just returned back from our weeks stay at Ulwell Holiday Park with our 2 small children and dog. It was an absolute brilliant week! The site has everything you need, and more! A lovely comfy pub on site for drinks and a bowl of chips, a small shop, swimming pool, large play are with park, and the bus stops right outside.. what more could you want

  • Easter break

    Mit

    We have just returned after a brilliant Easter break. Couldn’t fault anything at all and we didn’t want to leave. We didn’t visit the pub but the shop is stocked with local produce and essentials. The facilities are great and the location convenient. Our van was spotless and had everything we needed. We will definitely be back
