Christmas at Bluewater

Christmas at Bluewater has now wrapped up for the season - thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate!

A fabulous Bluewater Christmas

Darlings, Christmas at Bluewater was utterly fabulous!
Throughout the festive season, we brought the sparkle to Kent with festive shopping, winter attractions, delicious dining and plenty of Christmassy things to do, all set against a backdrop of twinkling lights and seasonal cheer.
From gift hunting and party outfits to ice skating, fairground thrills and festive films, Bluewater had everything needed to soar through the Christmas season in style.

FAB FESTIVE FUN

Over Christmas, Bluewater became the go-to destination for festive fun in Kent. Shoppers explored all the hottest gift ideas, winter fashion and beauty buys, while restaurants served up winter feasts, unmissable Christmas menus, cocktails and cheer.

Guests also escaped the cold indoors to enjoy the season’s biggest releases at Showcase Cinema de Lux, making Bluewater the perfect place to shop, dine and celebrate all in one visit.

IMMACULATE ICE SKATING VIBES

Ice skating returned to Bluewater for the festive season, bringing classic Christmas fun to the heart of the centre. Our covered ice rink welcomed skaters of all abilities, with penguin and seal skating aids helping build confidence on the ice.

Alongside general skating sessions, visitors enjoyed disco nights, quieter sessions and parent-and-toddler slots, making it a festive favourite for families, friends and couples alike.
