Get your Christmas presents from makers and creators from across Dorset, 14-15 November at The Tank Museum.
The event features a Christmas market packed with over 100 local traders, selling a wide range of high-quality crafts, art, toys, gifts, and more, making it the perfect opportunity to tick off your Christmas shopping list.
Visitors can browse everything from handmade jewellery crafted from sea glass to luxury hampers and artisan fudge, all indoors.
To set the festive scene, live entertainment will be provided by the Bournemouth and District Concert Band, one of the largest concert bands in Dorset.

Elliot Wills, Events Operations Manager, said: “A Dorset Christmas has become a much-loved tradition at The Tank Museum, bringing together the most talented local artists and makers.
“Whether you’re searching for unique Christmas gifts, festive food, and drink, family entertainment, or simply a great day out, there’s something for everyone. It’s a fantastic opportunity to support local businesses while getting into the Christmas spirit.”
Plus, Santa will be arriving at the Museum in an armoured vehicle, followed by a meet and greet for visitors as he walks around the site.
