Get in the Festive Spirit!

‘A Dorset Christmas’ is back on 16 & 17 November 2024.  Featuring specialist craft stalls, hands-on activities and Santa arriving on an armoured vehicle, this festive day out for all the family is one not to miss!

The perfect opportunity to pick up some unique hand-made Christmas gifts, ‘A Dorset Christmas’ will feature over 100 stalls by a community of makers and creatives from across Dorset selling high-quality crafts, art, toys, gifts and more.

Events & Partnerships Manager, Tom Holmes said,

“It’s fantastic to be working with Dorset Team again to provide this exclusive Christmas shopping experience. With festive live music, family activities and a visit from Santa, there will be plenty of fun to be had by all!”

Activities for children will include the ‘Frank on a Tank’ elf hunt Museum trail, and the opportunity to spread Christmas cheer by writing a card for veterans, which will be delivered by Help for Heroes.

Festive food and drink will be available in the restaurant, including a traditional Christmas dinner, mince pies and mulled wine.

Visitors will also be able to explore The Tank Museum’s powerful interactive exhibitions and discover the world’s finest collection of military vehicles.
