What's On in Bournemouth

Whenever you visit Bournemouth, there's always lots of events in and around the town and plenty of things to do.

The town square is totally pedestrianised which makes it perfect for holding many events including local markets,  Continental Markets, live music, theatre and much more.

The Bournemouth International Centre (BIC), Pavilion Theatre and Pavilion Dance offer theatre, dance and shows across the genres of classical music, rock and pop, musicals, children's shows, comedy, ballet ice shows and ice skating. Come and see for yourself!

Bournemouth offers something for everyone in its top entertainment venues as well a year round events calendar including some of the UK's best FREE family events.

With a glorious beach, plenty to keep all the family entertained and reports of a sultry micro-climate, Bournemouth truly is a premier destination.

Events all year round

Our events are held all over the town utilising our best assests including 'Britain's Best Beach' - seven miles of golden sandy beach. You can find family entertainment on the beaches throughout the school summer holidays. Our award winning 'Gardens by the Sea' host many events all year round including live music in our traditional Victorian bandstand and plenty of free family events.
