Creatively Supporting Businesses
Arts by the Sea Festival attracted over 120k visitors in September 2022, generating over £4.2m spend in local businesses.
Over 104 free performances took place, featuring 150 performers and providing opportunities for everyone to engage in arts culture.
The intoxicating mix of performance art, live music, dance, installations and large-scale spectacular outdoor show is now set to return in 2023, right in the heart of Bournemouth and surrounding areas of Christchurch and Poole.
We are currently looking for sponsors, partners and volunteers who can help support this inspirational and diverse celebration of the arts, featuring intriguing, inspirational and family friendly performances and installations. There are huge opportunities for brand exposure to our audience which is predominantly South Coast and London based.
If your business or organisation would like to become one of our featured partners or simply want to be involved in some way, please get in touch.
Next year’s Festival date: Sept 2024

How can I get Involved?
By working together, we can encourage increased visits to local attractions, shops, cafes, restaurants and accommodation, and as Arts by the Sea is free to attend, any secondary spend will come directly to you! We can help you attract new customers and raise your own profile.
Our marketing resources will soon be available to download via the Business Toolkit, for use on your own website and social media platforms, and encourage new visitors to the town centre for the festival this year.
Follow us on social media and share our weekly stories to promote the fantastic events going on in our area.
Interpret this year’s festival theme- to be announced very soon – let us know what you’re doing and we’ll give you a shout-out.
Work with local partners to create something special for festival weekend. Tell us who you’re connecting with and we’ll promote your partnership. If you serve food and drink, partner with a local provider to create a special festival dish, if you’re an accommodation provider, work with a local restaurant to offer a discount on meals for your guests.
If you’re local and aligned with our sustainability ethos, why not become one of our featured partners on our website? Get in touch to chat about working together.
