Getting around
Bournemouth is easy to navigate on foot, everything is compact with all roads leading to the stunning sandy beaches. If you want to save on shoe leather, you can hire bikes and E-scooters making it even easier to zip around from bar to bar (not that we're recommending drink-riding), the cycle path system is amazing, so no worries about knocking over pedestrians!
Just download the Beryl app and it costs approximately £1 to unlock and then just 16p per minute to feel the wind in your hair as you explore the city, and also an excellent way to cool down in the heat. Pedal bikes are slightly cheaper than the e-bikes, while e-scooters are slightly more, so you can go for whatever suits you best based on what is available at that time, how much you want to spend and whether you want to try a new experience.
The bus service is another option for exploring the coastline from Bournemoth and beyond, you can catch a yellow bus or a More bus from various locations across the city. The city also has its own airport, perfect for any long distance hens to join the fun, which is located just 11 minutes away from the city centre by taxi. There’s also a regular rail service if you prefer the train.
Tips and ideas
As with any coastal town, there is plenty of fun to be had both on and off the sandy beaches. Bournemouth is a UNESCO world heritage site and renowned for its Jurassic coastline and endless exploration options. There are tours you can take if you want to fossil hunt and swim in the crystal clear waters which have received blue flag and seaside awards. That's quite the rarity for the South coast of the UK.
The city centre is compact and brimming with high street giants such as Primark, H&M, Zara, and Next interspersed with independent boutiques, bars and restaurants. You are always minutes away from the seafront where you will find plenty of beach clubs, an enormous Harry Ramsdens with outside seating and of course, Bournemouth Pier.
There is a Zip Wire which runs from the pier onto the beach, although the set up is completely safe, it isn’t for the faint of heart as you will be gliding from a great height over the sea! You can also buy a group pass meaning it will cost less.
You can see the sights from the top of the big wheel which stands at 100 feet tall, meaning you will be queens of the castle and enjoy unrivalled views of the gorgeous sandy coastline.
Heights are a theme in Bournemouth and another fun way to scale the cliffs is to take a ride on the West Cliff Lift. This funicular railway will take you from the seaside promenade to the cliff top so once again you can enjoy the spectacular views.
All aboard the Land Train for a city tour with a difference. Sit back and enjoy the seafront scenery from the land train, which is technically not a train as it has wheels, but is shaped like one and certainly draws attention as you glide past.
Aside from the golden sandy beaches there are also lots of green spaces in Bournemouth. Boscombe Chine Gardens are bursting with colourful flower beds, an 18 hole mini golf course and cafe. There’s also Lower Gardens featuring Miami style palm trees and is only a five minute walk away from the main shopping centre, another perfect spot to enjoy a coffee and people watch.
Bournemouth boasts the smallest cinema in the UK, which also has a blues and jazz bar attached to it. The Colosseum Bar and Cinema is a must visit for a quirky night out seeing your favourite films from the comfort of leather sofas.
Nightlife
There is something to suit all tastes in Bournemouth. From nightclubs with world-class sound systems to pubs with stunning sea views and handmade cocktails, you can enjoy al fresco dining or dance until you drop. Or why not cram everything in? We can arrange guestlist entry with drink packages at pubs and clubs or tables at the best restaurants that are hen party friendly with a lively party atmosphere.
Bars
Boom Battle Bar hosts regular bottomless brunches, serving delicious drinks and food with many other play options such as darts, axe throwing and pool. If it’s laughter and a drag show you prefer then you can’t go wrong at Rubyz Drag and Comedy Club. Hen parties are welcomed, just make sure you leave your inhibitions at the door! With over 150 different drinks you are sure to find something you love at Be At One, the venue is super stylish and the team offer a guaranteed warm welcome. Sixty Million Postcards is an American style diner that hosts live music, expect a quirky interior for those Instagram moments. Chaplin's & The Cellar Bar is a small bar which hosts plenty of live music, plus the occasional stand-up comedy. Sip cocktails in decadent surroundings and enjoy city views. There’s live music here at the weekend and delicious afternoon tea on offer too!
Clubs
Popworld promises cheesy retro fun with regular 80s and 90s nights, fancy dress encouraged. The Old Fire Station has a state of the art sound system and different rooms and levels with various music genres played. A firm favourite with students. You can book VIP packages at Nexus, expect DJs and private karaoke booths with 2-4-1 cocktails during weekends at this venue. Don’t forget you can book VIP club packages through us in the activity section!
