Why Have A Weekend In Bournemouth?
With seven miles of golden sands, sparkling sea, and beautiful gardens, Bournemouth is starting to rival Brighton as the South East's go-to beach. Bournemouth also has many green parks so plenty of space to relax and enjoy your weekend. When you're not at the beach, don't forget to visit the Lighthouse - the largest arts centre outside of London that regularly plays host to comedy shows, theatrical performances and workshops. Alternatively, stroll along the promenade and pick up a 99 whilst perusing the quirky shops and fancy hotels in the English sunshine.

Bournemouth is one of our most popular destinations in the UK, and it's no wonder why! In the past 17+ years, we've seen thousands of people venture into the seaside town and come out the other end with nothing but smiles, a minuscule sun tan and a few sore heads... The seafront is lined with fabulous hotels, quirky ice cream shops and traditional seaside restaurants.
