Bournemouth's Christmas Tree Wonderland Trail launched in 2018, and it's been held every year since. I did not visit it in 2019 nor in 2020, but I visited it again this year. In addition to the original trees and sculptures that I saw during my 2018 visit, there were a few new ones. Most of the Christmas Tree trail takes place in the middle of Bournemouth in the Lower Gardens. There is an expansive Christmas market in the middle of the town (just outside the Lower Gardens) as well, and the trail runs from the seafront. As with 2018 when some of the displays malfunctioned, some of the trees were not completely lit or lit at all, but the majority were. The Bournemouth Christmas Tree Wonderland will take place until the second of January.
There were some new trees and a picture frame in the Christmas Market, which encouraged photographs.
My favourite was probably this glowing tree, although a few of the branches had malfunctioned.
I really wanted a hot chocolate, but we were in a rush because we were visiting family with small childen and baby, and the second time that I walked past the hot chocolate kiosk, it was rammed. So, my photographs are also all a bit rushed. It was also packed and impossible to do too much.
The high tree with music and lights that change colour and patterns had also returned, and visitors could walk through it again, but it was so busy.
There was a new fountain made of lit-up archways.
The trees are named after world cities, such as Seattle, Moscow, Bethlehem, and Warsaw.
I loved the giant deer.
The buildings and trees around the Lower Gardens also had snowflakes projected onto them.
The giant bauble could be walked through and attracted a lot of attention.
