Santa is expected to pop down to the popular Swanage Christmas Market on Saturday 4th December 2021. The market in Station Road will include a wide range of festive stalls, music and attractions.

While Santa doesn’t like to disappoint, if the weather is very bad, the route might need to change. Purbeck Coast 101.2 FM will announce any changes at 4 pm on the day.
