We are thrilled to announce that Arts by the Sea Festival will go ahead in 2020 in a revised, COVID-friendly format.
The festival will now take place with a reduced number of live physical events consisting of a handful of limited capacity, outdoor installations across Bournemouth Gardens and local beaches. The festival will also host more online activities where workshops and livestreams will become a part of this years format as we strive to meet government safety guidelines whilst still delivering a much-needed dose of cultural activity.
Arts by the Sea will follow all government safety guidelines, while delivering a much-needed dose of cultural activity.

Check out the highlights…
Fire Garden | Walk The Plank – 25th and 26th September – Free event, Lower Gardens
Embark on a family-friendly adventure into a fiery night-time landscape! Bournemouth Lower Gardens will be transformed into a temporary sculptural scene of flame and foliage, bathing the landscape in a golden glow. Wander into a world that can only be seen under cover of darkness, glimpsing intricately carved flaming flower boxes and delicately patterned floral chimneys, where trees crackle and blaze, flame tipped bulrushes sway in the evening breeze, and colossal lilies belch plumes of fire when you least expect it.
Created by outdoor arts experts, Walk the Plank, ‘The Fire Garden’ is an illuminating arts experience brimming with sights and sounds, designed for people of all ages to discover and enjoy. This will be the first time the installation – which has previously toured to award-winning festivals and events – will have been seen in Bournemouth. It has been adapted since to allow for social distancing.

Sea of Light | Ithaca – 2nd, 3rd and 4th October – Free event, Lower Gardens
Arts by the Sea Associate Artists and long-time collaborators, Ithaca Studio, present a customised adaptation of their large-scale outdoor light artwork. A pixel-mapped field of thousands of light spheres will be arranged in Bournemouth Gardens to allow audiences to enjoy a dazzling 360-degree sound and light experience from a variety of viewpoints, without crowding. The lights will be accompanied by a surround-sound music composition for a truly magical, immersive yet socially distanced experience.
