Bournemouth Arts by the Sea Festival

About

Arts by the Sea is a celebration of art, culture, people and place.

Arts by the Sea brings together large-scale spectaculars, diverse music, intriguing installations, dance, street theatre, participatory experiences and much more, in one unique and celebratory festival.

Originally launched in Bournemouth in 2011, Arts by the Sea has now expanding into Christchurch and Poole, and brings cultural experiences into neighbourhoods, working with schools and communities across the area. The event celebrates the talented local artists and creatives and provide a variety of opportunities to support their development, bringing together inspirational experiences in one of the most beautiful locations in the country and put inclusivity, diversity and sustainability at the heart of everything we do.

This year, Arts by the Sea invites you to TASTE -  a smorgasbord of ideas that invites you to partake in the joy of discovery.

For one weekend from 27th September to 29th September we’ll transform Bournemouth’s Town Centre. You’ll find artists, performers and musicians both local and national, who’ll use the power of creativity to enable you to TASTE your own unique moment.
