Enjoy an extra special treat at Swanage’s Christmas Lights Switch-On this year, with entertainment from The Polar Express Train Ride.
Characters from The Polar Express – which is visiting Swanage Railway for the festive period – will perform for you as you wait for the countdown to begin.




Swanage favourite Karen G will also be singing Christmas songs to get everyone into the festive spirit. And as always, Father Christmas will be arriving on his sleigh to join the festivities.
- Timings – 3pm – 4.30pm
- Meeting point – The Mowlem Triangle
And don’t forget you can tie a bit of Christmas shopping in with the lights switch-on for a truly festive day out.
There’ll also be the chance to visit the Artisans on the Beach, which starts today, where you can pick up a unique handmade gift or stocking-filler – head to their grand opening from 12pm.
