Theatre & Dance
The Pavilion Theatre is Bournemouth's traditional venue for year round entertainment. Built in the 1920s, it retains its splendour and elegant styling and is Bournemouth's regular home for West End stage shows, Opera, Ballet, Pantomime and Comedy as well as for corporate presentations.
Pavilion Dance South West is a registered charity, dedicated to transforming communities through dance. Communities might be professional choreographers, dancers, producers, young people, or people living with Parkinson’s. PDSW projects grow from one blueprint: to enable communities to enjoy creativity and well-being offered through dance.
