12: What’s on in December in Dorset

Located in Bournemouth Square, The Alpine Market operates from 11am to 11pm daily, with the wooden chalets housing everything from artisan jewellery makers to local food producers, independent craft brewers to vintage clothing sellers. Whilst you'll certainly find your traditional German bratwurst and steaming bowls of glühwein, there's a decidedly local twist that makes this celebration uniquely Bournemouth. Meanwhile, the Christmas Tree Wonderland, with its spectacular light displays, creates a glittering pathway through the heart of the town.
