Ensuring Bournemouth Pavilion’s Story Continues

Bournemouth Pavilion is a wonderful example of 1930s Art Deco architecture and design, with many of its original features still intact.

As with so many older buildings, the venue requires a sensitive and sympathetic programme of restoration works to reinstate spectacular features which have been lost over time and restore original finishes, whilst removing unsightly alterations from previous years.

By donating, you are helping to ensure the Bournemouth Pavilion can be preserved and passed on to future generations to delight audiences and visitors for many more years to come, while also supporting our charitable aims of increasing access to the arts and protecting Bournemouth’s cultural heritage.

Helping Young People Experience the Joy of Theatre

Bournemouth Pavilion’s Outreach Fund helps provide access to cultural events for young people across Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole who might otherwise miss out.

Donations collected during pantomime performances support BH Live in creating meaningful cultural opportunities for less privileged children and young people facing social or economic barriers.

Thanks to the generous contributions from our previous pantomime audiences, hundreds of less privileged children from local primary schools have been able to enjoy pantomime.

We collect donations for our outreach fund with collection buckets at our annual festive pantomime.
