Get in the festive Spirit this weekend with a Christmas market.

‘A Dorset Christmas’ is returning to The Tank Museum, Bovington from November 16-17.

The magical event will feature an array of specialist craft stalls, hands-on activities and the big man himself – Santa will be arriving on an armoured vehicle.

With more than 100 market stalls present at the event, it is the perfect opportunity to pick up some unique hand-made Christmas gifts.

Events and Partnerships Manager, Tom Holmes, said: “It’s fantastic to be working with Dorset Team again to provide this exclusive Christmas shopping experience. With festive live music, family activities and a visit from Santa, there will be plenty of fun to be had by all.”

Activities for children will include the ‘Frank on a Tank’ elf hunt Museum trail, and the opportunity to spread Christmas cheer by writing a card for veterans, which will be delivered by Help for Heroes.

Festive food and drink will also be available in the restaurant, including a traditional Christmas dinner, mince pies and mulled wine.
