Central Bournemouth is a key spot for larger venues like the Old Fire Station, offering rooms for up to 600 guests. Westbourne is also popular, with multiple options like Branksome Crafthouse, which has smaller, affordable function spaces. Boscombe East and Tuckton also cater well to small gatherings and private events, offering scenic or relaxed neighbourhood settings.
Riverside in Tuckton has a lovely location right by the water, perfect for relaxed gatherings with some fresh air. If you're looking for something in town with a terrace vibe, The Bridge House in Ferndown has outdoor space and can work well for casual drinks or a summer evening event. Just check if there are any sound curfews or time limits outside.
If you're on a tighter budget, weekday bookings (Monday to Thursday) are where you'll find the best deals. Weekends are popular for parties, so they can book out fast and cost a bit more. Morning sessions are usually cheaper, too, which is great if you're doing something like a business breakfast or a workshop.
For sure! Smaller venues work well for kids' parties. Look for somewhere with seating, space for games, and easy access for parents (parking helps too). Some venues help with catering, like finger food, soft drinks, and snacks, or allow you to bring your own. Check if they have the right vibe or facilities, depending on the age group.
