What to do in Bournemouth

This coastal town may be a hot spot for beach-goers and a popular destination for stag and hen dos, but there is more to this town than partying by the beach.

Russell-Cotes Art Gallery and Museum is set in an incredibly extravagant home which was gifted by Merton Russell-Cotes to his wife Annie. Filled to the brim with objects, trinkets and British art from their personal collection, with additional acquisitions since, this stunning home is well worth a visit for its grand, Victorian setting.

There is a whole range of cuisines to suit all tastes and budgets. Sample the freshest seafood and local produce in Bournemouth’s award-winning bars and restaurants, have afternoon tea by the sea or grab a coffee at one of the cafes by the seafront.

Escape to somewhere a little more tranquil at one of Bournemouth’s green spaces. The historic Upper Gardens was previously a private garden with 3 separate sections inspired by 3 different continents, and hosts a variety of unusual species of tree with some having been planted during the 19th century.
