Kick off your festive season with Winter at the Cross - a celebration of community and all the good stuff Dorset has to offer. Hosted in the heart of Ashley Cross at St Peter’s, it’s the only real way to kindle some holiday spirit.
Pop along to The Confessional, a bar serving festive beer and steaming cups of mulled wine, or explore artist and maker stalls for thoughtful and unique Christmas gifts. There’ll be live music, roaming performers, a children’s storytelling and craft stand, mouthwatering local food vendors and carol singing (of course). Mr and Mrs Claus have even found time in their busy diary to make a special appearance.
And if that wasn’t enough - the merriment spills into the evening with a festive pub trail, where you can follow the Pier Elves’ tipsy footsteps to some of their favourite local watering holes. Mingle, discover, and get lost in a generous sprinkling of yuletide magic.
Finally, to share the generous Christmas spirit, £1 of every ticket will be donated to support pastoral care and connection in Ashley Cross.
