This year, there are two Christmas markets are just a short ride away.

🎁 Southampton Christmas Market

Southampton’s city centre transforms into a winter wonderland each year, with traditional wooden chalets lining Above Bar Street and Bargate. Expect German bratwurst, artisan gifts, thrilling rides, and maybe even a visit from Santa himself!

Any bus that serves Southampton city centre will drop you just a short stroll from the market. 

Travelling from further afield? 

Make the most of the Southampton Weekend Park and Ride service, just off the M271. It's the ideal way to get into the city, plus it's only £3 per car of up to 5 people! Buses run at weekends, up to every 20 minutes. Don't stress about driving into the city centre, just park and ride.

Set in the Cathedral Close, the quaint chalets play host to high quality food, craft and gift stalls .
