Entertainment

We’ve also got the UK’s first 6D cinema! You can experience film like never before – seeing, hearing, and feeling everything as if you’re really there.

Comedy & Live Music

It’s a laugh a minute in Bournemouth! We get some of the biggest names in British comedy at our international venues, and there’s a great local scene. There are stand-up and open mic nights at many of our pubs and clubs. It doesn’t stop with jokers; Bournemouth is a hotbed for new and young talent. Many venues, especially the local pubs in our coastal villages, showcase emerging bands and musicians.

Casinos & Nightclubs

Bournemouth comes alive at night, with modern bars and clubs in the heart of the resort. You can sip on cocktails as the sun goes down, dance into the early hours of the morning, or even try your luck in one of our casinos. These venues are surrounded by restaurants and takeaways, so you can make a night of it with a group of friends. You’re also never far from a sea view, which will make your visit even more memorable.
