STAY

STAYING FOR THE WEEKEND?

Vintage Toy Riot takes place over the late-May Bank Holiday weekend, so if you’re travelling from further away, Bournemouth is an easy place to make a weekend of it.

There are plenty of hotels, guest houses and apartments around Bournemouth town centre and seafront, with many options within walking distance of the Pavilion.

Because it’s a Bank Holiday weekend, we recommend booking early.
