Proms in the Park 2026

A weekend of music, fireworks and fun can only mean one thing… Proms in the Park is back. Join us at Meyrick Park for two spectacular outdoor concerts: on Friday night for Now That's What I Call Symphonic Music! we'll be playing the most beloved classical pieces and big blockbuster hits and on Saturday we'll be turning back the clocks for a night of nostalgia with Symphonic Smash Hits - the 90s! Save the date for Bournemouth’s biggest party of the summer!
