How to get to Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre
By train and bus: the Pavilion puts Bournemouth station around one mile away, approximately a 22-minute walk. For a shorter final approach, compare a taxi or bus to the town centre. Westover Road stops are around a minute away; the Royal Bath Hotel and Bournemouth Square stops offer other nearby options.
By car: use BH1 2BU. The public car park around the Pavilion is council-operated and has accessible bays; nearby alternatives include Bath Road and the Bournemouth International Centre. Check charges and closing arrangements rather than assuming a show ticket covers parking.
Step-free arrival: the venue describes ramped access from the car park to the front doors and step-free access into the stalls. There is no lift to the circle. Anyone needing a wheelchair bay, larger seating or a personal-assistant ticket should contact the access team before selecting seats.

Planning your visit
Check the entrance carefully: the theatre’s front doors are on Westover Road, while other activities in the Pavilion complex may use different approaches. If combining the show with the gardens or seafront, work back from the curtain time and allow for bag checks. Morning school performances and afternoon family sessions can have different booking conditions.
