What’s On In Bournemouth
We all want to discover Bournemouth…when it is safe to do so.
We really hope you’re all staying healthy and happy. From 8th March national restrictions will gradually be lifting as we start on the much anticipated journey along the ‘roadmap to recovery’. We absolutely cannot wait to welcome you all back to our beautiful part of the country – the last year has certainly reminded us of the simple things we have missed…the familiar buzz of excited holiday makers, happy faces and a busy resort. We will soon be able to enjoy a well-earned break and some much needed time away together, but until then we must ask that you still adhere to all Government guidelines to help protect you, your loved ones and those around you. Along with our coastlines, open spaces and countryside we will be here waiting to welcome you back with open arms, once it is safe to do so. But…if you’re curious about what a holiday in Bournemouth could look like, once it’s safe to do so, have a peek at our accommodation pages or be inspired by some of our blogs, we’re nearly there and summer is on its way!
