Poole’s new Christmas Light Maritime Festival and City Cruises

With only eighteen weeks left until Christmas, Poole Council & Poole BID have just announced they are lighting up the high street from The Dolphin Centre through the high street, through the old town and into The Quay. As well as thousands of spectacular illuminations with a maritime theme, there will be fun fair rides and a Christmas Market to help attract more visitors to Poole in the festive season.

The lights will run from 19 November through to 2 January and will give a magical feel to Poole. Poole will have it’s own version of the highly successful Christmas Tree Wonderland in Bournemouth be based around the maritime heritage of Poole.

City Cruises in Poole Quay is backing this fantastic venture and will also be lighting up its boats to add to the experience.

It is adding more festive cruises this year and, as well as its popular Winter Harbour & Islands Cruises (served with mulled wine and a mince pie!), it will be doing half hour evening sailings from 5 – 8pm so people can see the stunning lights from the water.

‘Set Sail with Santa’ will be back and its Christmas Party nights are looking to be a popular choice too. Well done and thanks to Poole BID and the council for this wonderful opportunity for Poole and the businesses that are in our community! www.citycruisespoole.com
