Central Bournemouth is the top spot, with venues like Be At One Bournemouth, which hosts up to 200 standing guests from £500 minimum spend per session. For a more laid-back coastal setting, Westbourne is popular thanks to its stylish but low-key venues like Branksome Crafthouse, where prices start at only £100.
You can hire anything from cocktail lounges and modern hotel function rooms to outdoor terraces and boutique bars. Bournemouth venues range from intimate settings like Vicolo, with space for 40 standing guests, to large-scale options such as Barbara’s Bier Haus Bournemouth, accommodating up to 300 people.
To secure your preferred date, aim to book 2 to 3 months in advance, especially for weekend events. Popular venues in the summer months or December can book out earlier, so if you’re considering places like Slug & Lettuce Bournemouth The Square, it’s smart to lock in your date sooner.
