Christmassy things to do in or around Hampshire

[iloveholidays]

copying a couple of other posts looking for some ideas to do locally. want to do something each weekend in the lead up to Christmas so looking for 2 to 3 activities.

planning on doing Winchester market. any other ideas?

thanks

Santa's grotto at bird world
Christmas train on Watercress line

Horndean garden centre is well worth a visit. They usually have reindeer in the lead up to Christmas, and their Christmas decorations and model village areas really are the loveliest I have seen :)

Must pencil in a weekend to take my dd, actually!

thank you. will look into those. I've already looked at the watercress line but it looked very expensive for us as a family of 5!!

Any other ideas welcome

thanks again

Don't know which end of Hampshire you are but Lapland UK has moved to near windsor. Although we looked at it and I thought it was too expensive

We always do the ice skating in the middle of the Christmas market in Winchester. Very Christmassy.

We are North Hampshire/Surrey borders.

Both of these have been recommended to me:

Apparently Denbies do a good Christmas event, though it's not on their website yet - www.denbies.co.uk/Groups/126192/Denbies_Wine_Estate/Events_Exhibitions/Family_Events/Family_Events.aspx

thank you. I will look into those.
