The Salisbury Christmas Tree Trail

Contemporary. Classic. Christmas 

We are bringing Salisbury a magical Christmas Tree Trail from Saturday 20 November 2021 - Sunday 2 January 2022.

Have a festive day out in Salisbury and discover the twelve magical trees dotted around the city centre. Each tree will make the perfect picture opportunity with different themes for you to enjoy.

Starting at Salisbury Cathedral and finishing at the Market Place, the magical trail will guide you through the medieval streets of Salisbury.

Why not help make Salisbury truly sparkle this year by adding some festive magic to your own front garden and put up a Christmas tree for people to enjoy whilst on their outdoor exercise? These trees could bring much needed cheer during these difficult weeks. Upload photos of yours to our Facebook page for all to enjoy.

The City Council encourages the public to socially distance at all times when taking part in the trail. If there are many people at one tree, please move on to the next one.

We are also now in the stage of planning some other exciting Christmas treats for people to enjoy including a Christmas Santa Experience! More details will be announced soon! Keep an eye out on the City Council's website and social media for updates.

Contact christmas@salisburycitycouncil.gov.uk if you would like to register your interest in being part of the festive fun this year. 

Salisbury’s Christmas Lights 

Christmas in Salisbury traditionally begins with the much-loved light switch on event in the Market Place, but sadly this event will not be going ahead this year.

However, Salisbury will still be beautifully dressed in twinkly lights for all to admire when visiting the city centre over the festive period. The lights will be on, including the stunning lights wrapping the trees in the Market Place.
