VENUE
pic of crowd

Bournemouth Folk Club has been located at Centre Stage since September 2005. Centre Stage is the large function room of the Pig and Whistle, a fairly small pub. It has a separate entrance adjacent to the pub. The venue is spacious and comfortable with seated capacity for 160 at tables and a bar. The stage is wide and low (21 inches). There is in-house PA.

Centre Stage is well-located in an attractive part of Bournemouth between the town centre and Westbourne. Westbourne is an attractive and stylish urban village with fashionable shops and restaurants.

Within close walking distance of Centre Stage are a selection of hotels including the Premier Inn (Poole Road).

Food is NOT SERVED at the present time in the Pig and Whistle or Centre Stage. However as everyone sits at tables for our gigs, the venue management have no objection to you bringing food in from neighbouring takeaways. Next door on Queens Road is a Nepalese restaurant, the Himalaya -(fantastic!) , and takeaways for Chinese (don't know) and pizza (very good apparently) .

Please DO NOT contact the venue for tickets. See our tickets page

DIRECTIONS
The venue is easy to find. The Pig and Whistle (inc Centre Stage) is close to the main road to Bournemouth (A338 / Wessex Way).

From the north east direction (Southampton, Ringwood etc) the Spur Road (A338) becomes Wessex Way.
At second roundabout on the Wessex Way (Bournemouth West Roundabout) take left.
Go to St Michael's Roundabout (about 200 yards) and take last turnoff (ie right) into Poole Road.
Take first right at lights (200 yards) into Queens Road.
Pig and Whistle is a few yards down on the left on the corner. Centre Stage is next door (0 above).
There is a large public car park opposite.....
.... which charges £1 after 6pm.
