POOLE Maritime Christmas lights will return next month. 

The popular and free light attraction will be returning for its third year on November 23. 

This year’s festive event will see several light installations including a galleon, walk-through lantern and bauble and an anchor. 

There will also be Christmas tree installations including the 13-metre blue sea life tree in Falkland Square. 

A spokesperson for the event said: “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.” 

The spokesperson added: “We also have garlands, icicles, beautifully wrapped trees, and a marine 'ceiling of light' featuring fish and starfish.   

“This enchanting light trail is sure to get you in the festive mood. 

“We can't wait to welcome you back.” 

The lights will be brought down on January 1.
