Dear Robin
With fireworks displays, a real ice rink, festive markets, huge theatre shows, a light festival, and loads more besides, Portsmouth is the place to put the wind in your sails this winter.
Now is an ideal time to plan your next trip to the Great Waterfront City, where festive events, world-class attractions and great shopping are all within a stone's throw of one another - right along the seafront.
Take in a festive show the whole family can enjoy, with traditional pantomimes performed in the awe-inspiring surrounds of our historic theatres. Or, tick off the Christmas list with a huge selection of shops - from big name outlets at Gunwharf Quays to independent artists working from the Hotwalls Studios.
There's art on a much larger scale when the first ever We Shine Portsmouth event bursts into life. The large-scale light festival will see displays beamed onto buildings and attractions across the city, and will also include parades, performances and a Christmas market.
You can even enjoy a spot of ice skating in Portsmouth this winter, with the Guildhall Square once again being given over to an enormous, covered ice rink - allowing you to get your skates on, whatever the weather.
Plus, don't forget about our year-round attractions. Take a walk through Britain's naval history at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, enjoy the breath-taking views from Spinnaker Tower, and put yourself in the shoes of WW2 soldiers at The D-Day Story.
Book your trip to Portsmouth today, to put the wind back in your sails this winter.
