Discover Christmas events in Poole for 2026, including Jack and the Beanstalk at Lighthouse, Farmer Palmer’s Christmas experience, festive concerts and the anticipated return of Poole’s free light trail. Several major events are already available to book, while Poole BID and local attractions are still preparing their complete seasonal programmes. We will update this guide with confirmed light-trail dates, Santa appearances, markets and family activities as they are announced.
Start 2027 with one of Poole’s quirkiest annual traditions as the New Year’s Day Bath Tub Race returns to Poole Quay. Teams take to the harbour in homemade bathtub-inspired vessels, racing along the waterfront while crowds cheer them on from the quayside. Expect creative crafts, splashes, plenty of competitive spirit and a lively atmosphere, all while raising money for charity. The event is free to watch and has become a memorable way to welcome the New Year in Poole.
