Check Festival Dates
Major festival events occur throughout the year, with the main programme in autumn. Check the festival schedule to ensure your accommodation booking aligns with the events you want to attend.
Consider Transport
While many venues are walkable from the town centre, consider proximity to bus routes if you're planning to attend events across different areas of Bournemouth.
