Bournemouth really does transform into a little winter wonderland this time of year there is so much fun stuff to do. We started off with a walk around Xmas Tree Wonderland, which the girls loved even during the day, but course it is a whole new level at night. We then went for a skate at Skate Bournemouth they have a great session for toddlers on weekday mornings at 10:30am, it’s much quieter and actually works out a little cheaper too! We then headed down to the Bournemouth Christmas Market, they have so many great food options down there this year. We enjoyed some festive loaded fries and hot dogs while the girls had giant hot chocolates and a little boogie with Santa. After some shopping and another lap of the gardens to spot lights we headed to Mercure Queens Hotel for a dreamy afternoon tea full of festive treats. It was absolutely delicious. And finally there is snow falling everyday at BH 2 Leisure a fun little flurry to finished the day.
