What's on in Christchurch This Week

This week in Christchurch and the surrounding areas, a variety of events are planned. From live music to family activities and local markets, there’s a range of options for different interests. On June 8th, Beverley Knight performs her 'Born To Perform Tour' at Bournemouth Pavilion, offering an evening of soul and R&B. For cycling enthusiasts, Bike Nights return to Poole Quay on June 9th, combining live music and food with a showcase of bikes. Families can join the free Early Years Autism Workshop in Bournemouth on June 9th, designed to support early development.

Beyond these, several opportunities cater to families and those seeking weekend activities. Farmer Palmers hosts a car boot sale on June 9th, promising unique finds. For younger children, the free 'Bump & Baby Walk' in Christchurch on June 10th provides a welcoming outdoor activity. While the Splashpark is popular, especially when sunny, consider alternatives like Trainmaster Hampshire at Moors Valley on June 14th, a themed railway experience. Getting around requires some planning; the Christchurch area has seen roadworks following earthquake damage, and parking can be limited.

Christchurch Harbour offers transport options – including boat trips and ferry crossings – to enjoy the area. The ferry provides access to Mudeford Sandbank, but services can be affected by peak season demand. For those travelling by road, the Lyttelton Road Tunnel remains a key link. Local venues such as The Snug and Fisherman’s Haunt host comedy and music throughout the week. The events listed below offer a starting point for a varied local experience; check timings and venues for details.
