Gunwharf Quays at Christmas

Located just a short walk from the Fast Cat terminal, Portsmouth’s luxury shopping outlet, Gunwharf Quays, transforms into a festive wonderland every winter. From mid-November, the Christmas Village comes to life with charming Bavarian market stalls, beautiful decorations and trees, lively pop-up bars, and funfair rides. Beyond the Christmas magic, Gunwharf Quays offers a full day out with designer shopping, waterfront restaurants and bars, a cinema, and the iconic Spinnaker Tower. And with the last Fast Cat ferry departing at 22:45, there’s no need to rush your visit.

For the best bargains, plan a trip before Christmas, and take advantage of October’s mild evenings — perfect for enjoying sunset drinks at the waterside bars.

Whether you visit in October, November, or December, Gunwharf Quays promises a memorable experience.
