Location: Bournemouth

Arts By The Sea Festival brings together large-scale installations, diverse music, intriguing spectacles, dance, street theatre, participatory experiences and so much more, creating a festival that is unique as it is celebratory.

Originally launched in 2011, Arts by the Sea brings cultural experiences to the centre of Bournemouth, as well as into surrounding neighbourhoods, working with schools and communities across the local areas.

Local artists and emerging talents are supported, providing a variety of opportunities to support their creative development. Inclusivity, diversity and sustainability are at the heart of this event.

The festival is mostly free and unticketed, but there will be plenty of food stalls and activities you can pay for.
