If the weather is bright and you have the urge to get down and dance the night away, then why not make the day last a little longer with an evening in one of Bournemouth’s numerous pubs and clubs? If you’re not feeling the local nightlife, there are plenty of reasons to stay out late at a theatre, show, or incredible event.

The Russel-Cotes Museum and Art Gallery is located just atop the Bournemouth cliffs. Here, you can see a detailed glass dome brimming with stars, comets, and wildlife.

Whether you feel like learning how to shoot a bow and arrow, or you’re interested in seeing the see in style from a Pier zipwire, the possibilities are endless.
