What's on in West Southbourne

Dorset, England

Share:

West Southbourne sits quietly on Dorset's south coast and doesn't need to shout to tell you what's on. The local community centre often hosts family workshops while the town hall manages those formal evening talks that keep everyone informed. It is a place where a quiet walk can easily turn into plans for a good night out. You do not have to travel far to find a gathering or a gig in this friendly corner of the county. There are always activities popping up around the neighbourhood, from casual meetups to organised sports days that keep things lively. Near Here keeps all these local details tidy so you never miss what is going on down by the sea.

Awarded Best Solo Artist and Best Songwriter by the OMA’s in Dorset, Nia’s got a reputation that’s as strong as her voice. Her hit track “Exes” was named Track of 2023 by BBC Introducing, and she’s been rockin’ the airwaves on BBC Kent and BBC Wales.This lady’s got Nashville in her blood, having recorded most of her songs in Music City, but she’s been making waves all over the map! In 2024, she became the first British artist ever invited to perform at the In A Jam Down By The River festival in Texas! ????And if that’s not enough to get you excited, country star Dylan Scott has her on his radar, calling her “one to watch,” while legendary American songwriter Dean Friedman has had her open for him on his UK tours the past two years.
