Arts by the Sea Fringe

We’re proud to bring you the first ever Arts by the Sea Fringe!

This year, we’re proud to launch the Arts by the Sea Fringe, extending the creativity of the core festival to independent venues across the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole areas.

Running from 19 September to 5 October 2025, we’re inviting venues to join us in extending the festival spirit beyond the main event and celebrating this year’s theme, WE ARE HERE.

The Arts by the Sea Fringe is powered in collaboration with We Broke Free, South Coast independent music curators and specialists.
