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 12^th April more national restrictions will be lifting as we continue on the much anticipated journey along the ‘roadmap to recovery’.  Self contained  and self catering accommodation, outdoor attractions and outdoor hospitality are now open with many available for online booking, check out what’s open in Bournemouth. If you’re planning a day trip we ask you plan ahead, download the BCP Beach Check app and see what’s open before you head our way. Our coastlines, open spaces and countryside are poised to welcome you back but if you choose to visit for the day please remember to not only respect the resort and protect it but importantly enjoy it!

We absolutely cannot wait to welcome you all back to our beautiful part of the country, for that well-earned break and some much needed time away together.  If you’re curious about what a holiday in Bournemouth could look like from next month, then have a peek at our accommodation pages, be inspired by some of our brilliant blogs and start planning that perfect break!

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…hold on, we’re nearly there everyone and summer is definitely on its way! 

In the meantime do please continue to adhere to all Government guidelines to help protect you, your loved ones and those around you.
