Christchurch Living Advent Calendar 2025

Christchurch

living advent calendar 2025

Monday 1st December to Wednesday 24th December

These free to attend daily events are just the thing if you are looking for something to get you into the Christmas spirit. Every evening from 6-7pm a performance will showcase a local performer at a different location around the town. Singers, dancers, musicians and choirs are just some of the performers you can enjoy as the Living Advent Calendar returns after many successful years. Each evening is in aid of a different local charity and is supported by generous local businesses or individuals. On the night collections and raffles will raise money for that evening’s charity.

There is no admission charge and free refreshments are usually provided by local suppliers. The event is organised by CHRISTCHURCH ROTARY CLUB and other local volunteers with the support of Christchurch Town Council and BCP Councils.

Note: on Christmas Eve the concluding event will be at 12 noon.

Details of the events as they take place can also be found on Instagram (Christchurch_living_advent) and Facebook. https://christchurchlivingadventcalendar.org.uk
