The Bandstand

The Pine Walk Bandstand dates from 1933 and replaced the original 1884 version.

In earlier days, performances featured the Bournemouth Municipal Orchestra and members of the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra.

Regular concerts still entertain both residents and visitors, there are concerts with a range of musical styles including brass bands, jazz combos and choirs.

Do walk along the pathway behind the bandstand. Known as Invalids Walk, a nod to Victorian times, it was the route for patients being wheeled in bathchairs from the local sanitorium to sit in the sunshine and take in the health-giving sea air along the promenade.
