Christmas Party Venues in Bournemouth

Most are in the town centre and along the East and West Cliff, close to the seafront and the gardens. Boscombe, Poole and Christchurch, all nearby, have more venues, and there are hotels with parking on the edges of the town.

Bournemouth station has direct trains to London Waterloo, Southampton and Poole, and most seafront hotels are a short taxi ride away. Taxis are busy on December weekends, so book your ride home in advance and check last trains.

In recent seasons, Christmas in Bournemouth has included a free lights trail through the Lower Gardens down to the seafront, an outdoor ice rink in the gardens and a Christmas market in The Square. The pier and the beach are great for a winter walk before the party.

Very easily. Bournemouth has a lot of hotels, especially on the cliff tops, and many party nights take place in hotels, so you can party and stay in the same building. Ask the venue about rooms when you enquire.
