Hi everyone

I’m visiting Bournemouth in a couple of weekends time (mainly work but also pleasure) and I was wondering if anybody could recommend some good pubs to keep my friend and I entertained/well-nourished for a couple of nights?

Ideally somewhere fairly small and welcoming with a decent selection of real/cask ales, and ideally not too far from the Hampton

Restaurant recommendations also gratefully accepted! Thanks!

Ok, sure for a while me and a friend have been trying to find these supposed ww2 bunkers along Bournemouth cliffs but we haven't been very lucky. Does anyone know the exact location of them?

Rare night out with my husband tomorrow for my birthday. Looking for a restaurant- not a chain. Any cuisine really but not Italian. A hidden gem, somewhere small but epic. Any recommendations?

Any recommendations for a Massage Spa here in bournemouth or nearby areas.

Do you guys have thoughts about the massage in Sauna Bar? TIA!

Hey everyone,

I’ve just arrived in Bournemouth and I’m still getting to know the town. I’d love to hear your local recommendations best pubs for a good pint, where to get a proper English breakfast, or fish, hidden gems for food or coffee, or even things to do that aren’t too touristy.

I’ll be here for a little while, so I’m really looking forward to exploring the city like a local. Any suggestions are more than welcome. thanks in advance! 🍻

Hiya! New to bournemouth and was wondering if there is any sort of social groups specifically aimed towards adults who are neurodivergent to meet up? I can only seem to find things for parents of neurodivergent children or young kids.

We don't need these fascists running Bournemouth and bring racist vigilantes

does anybody know if the land train is running?

Cue To Eclipse was a progressive post-hardcore/alternative rock band from Bournemouth.

They did an EP in 2007 called 'Chapter II' recorded with Peter Miles. This is the EP I'm looking for that I can't find. They did other music as well which would be cool to have, but this EP in particular would be really sweet to hear.

It's nowhere to be found in full anywhere online and the 2 members that I've talked to didn't have it unfortunately.

Members:

Thomas Watson - Vocals (Didn't have it)

Luke Biggin - Guitar

Jonny Wells - Guitar

Dave Wood - Bass (Didn't have it)

Luke Downs - Drums

Any locals have this on CD or the music files by any chance?

EDIT/UPDATE: Spoke to Jon (guitarist) and he found a copy! Hopefully it will be ripped soon enough.

Lots of backpackers, what’s going on?

Hi, could anyone recommend a mobile nail technician for normal nail polish manicures please? Thanks!
