What's On
Enjoy a magical evening of live music as the esteemed Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra returns to Robin Hill’s beautiful open parkland. Following the success of last year’s event, Proms ’26 promises another uplifting celebration of music set against a stunning backdrop — with a spectacular fireworks finale to round off the night.
The evening begins with captivating performances from soprano Thea Callaghan, pianist Thomas Luke, and violinist Lizzie Ball, before the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra takes to the stage for a rousing programme of much-loved Proms classics.
Bring a picnic, relax with family and friends, and enjoy an enchanting evening of world-class music under the stars.
For an even more memorable experience, upgrade to a VIP ticket or pre-order a delicious hamper, freshly prepared and ready for collection on arrival. Availability is limited, so it’s worth planning ahead.
Why not extend the experience with a weekend ticket, giving you access to both Proms '26 on Saturday and A Night at the Movies on Sunday — two spectacular concerts performed by one outstanding orchestra.
