DATES for this year’s Christmas Tree Wonderland have been announced by organisers. 

The popular display lights up the Lower Gardens in Bournemouth town centre every year, attracting thousands of people. 

This year’s event will return on November 15 and leave the town on December 31. 

A spokesman for Christmas Tree Wonderland said: “We're so pleased to announce that Bournemouth’s Christmas Tree Wonderland 2024 is back. 

“A unique festive trail featuring spectacular Christmas trees from around the world. 

“Experience the magical spectacle of glittering trees from around the world. See them shimmer against the night skies along our pine-scented walkways. 

“Explore the Alpine Market at Bournemouth Christmas Market and skate under the stars at Ice SKATE and Moguls Alpine Bar Bournemouth in our enchanting Victorian gardens.” 

Last month, Bournemouth-based Seventa announced the popular German markets would be returning to the Square daily from Friday, November 15 until Wednesday, January 1. 

Around 40 chalet huts will feature local and national traders, the markets will sell a range of unique gifts, crafts and festive treats.   

There will be favourites such as hot chocolate from Norris & Binglewort and handmade pizzas by El Murrino.
