Bournemouth Reggae Weekender 2026 is a three-day celebration of reggae music and culture, held in Kings Park from Friday 24 to Sunday 26 July 2026. Billed as Bournemouth’s No.1 reggae in the park, it blends live music with dance, art and culture, with headline sets from Maxi Priest and Hollie Cook.
What to expect
Set across the open green space of Kings Park, the weekender pairs a full programme of reggae and its offshoots with dance, visual art and cultural performance — a relaxed, sociable atmosphere rather than a big-stage spectacle. Around the main music you can expect the food, drink and stalls that come with a festival in the park. The full line-up and running order are confirmed closer to the event, so check the official listing for the latest details.
Planning your visit
Kings Park sits a short way inland from the seafront, near Boscombe and Littledown, so it helps to plan your travel and parking before you set off. Pack for changeable late-July weather with sun cover and something warmer for the evenings. For the latest times, prices and tickets, check the event’s official listing ahead of your visit.
