Christmas Events in Bristol

There are more Christmas events in Bristol than Wensleydale cheese consumed by our loveable locals Wallace & Gromit! From festive makers markets to candlelit carol nights, #Bristmas really is cracking.

Start your Christmas gift shopping at the Bristol Christmas Market in Broadmead, the festive Harbourside Market, St Nicholas Christmas Market, or Winter Wonderland at Cribbs Causeway (which will feature the South West's largest ice skating rink).

Visit Santa in his Christmas Grotto at Ashton Court Mansion, at Bristol Zoo Gardens, on the Santa Special steam trains on Avon Valley Railway, or aboard one of the Bristol Ferries!

Or if you really want to get into the festive spirit, head to Tyntesfield for their famous Very Victorian Christmas celebration, featuring carriage rides, storytelling, dancing and games.

There are also spectacular festivities taking place at Westonbirt Arboretum's Enchanted Christmas illumination event, as well as Victorian Christmas celebrations at Brunel's SS Great Britain and Tyntesfield.

Want to celebrate Christmas by going to see a show with friends and family? Choose from A Christmas Carol at Bristol Old Vic, The Borrowers at Tobacco Factory Theatres, The Nativity: A Donkey's Tale at The Redgrave Theatre, or this year's Christmas panto: Cinderella at Bristol Hippodrome!

Keep an eye on this page as we'll continue to update you on all the twinkly, festive fun to be had.

If you're looking for something to occupy the little ones while you're out and about, you can download and print this festive mural for them to colour in!
