Step into a cosy Christmas wonderland in the heart of Rabat this December, as the Secret Garden at Bottegin Palazzo Xara transforms into the Bastions Christmas Market from 5th to 14th. Visitors can enjoy festive treats, heartwarming food, and soak up magical moments in a truly enchanting setting.
Visitors will be invited to indulge in flavours from some of Malta’s most beloved kitchens as the Secret Garden comes alive with irresistible aromas and seasonal treats. Culinary creations will be offered by MUŻA Restaurant, Grotto Tavern, Ostrica at Gillieru, Bottegin Palazzo Xara, Bastion View Kiosk and Bastions Brew Café, all part of the Bastions Group, each presenting their own festive specialities.
Guests can sip on Harry Potter inspired Butter Beer, warm up with a Hot Toddy, enjoy loaded potato fries and many other delights served right in the heart of this enchanting Christmas market.
The event proudly welcomes its official sponsor, Jameson, adding extra festive spirit to every glass. The Lisle Adam Band Club will set up a dedicated children’s Ice-Skating Rink, while Papa’s Kitchen will treat visitors to their famous pistachio pastizzi, a must-try seasonal snack.
Cosy marshmallow bonfires will invite guests to gather, relax, and soak in the warm glow of the season. Unique gift ideas from Grotto Tavern will also be available. Visitors will have the chance to win a Jameson gift by participating in a raffle held throughout the entire duration of the market, with the grand Christmas giveaway drawn on 14th December 2025.
