Booking Tips

Book Early

Bournemouth is a popular destination, especially during festival season and summer months. We recommend booking your accommodation as soon as your festival plans are confirmed.

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.

Look for Packages

Some hotels and B&Bs offer special packages during festival periods that may include breakfast, parking, or late checkout. Always worth asking!
