Boscombe Summer Games

This summer, Boscombe Games arrives into the coastal town with two weekends full of sporting themed entertainment and activities for all of the family! Events will take place on 5 - 7 August and 12 -14 August on the Precinct and in the Sovereign Shopping Centre in Boscombe.

On Friday 5 August, the games will kick off at midday, with a Rio Carnival themed party with Latin-American dance workshops, carnival themed stilt walkers, face painting, plus some fantastic live music! Play table tennis as part of Active Dorset's Ping contest, and see Special Olympic medal winners Ali and Duncan Feltham show off their skills on the table. The Friday event will finish with a parade going through the Boscombe precinct, led by London 2012 torch bearers.

After the launch on Friday, the entertainment continues on Saturday 06 August with arts and crafts workshops, sport and activity sessions, mini sporting competitions, live displays and more!

Boscombe Games provides a free, fun experience where anyone can get involved and try out a new sport or activity. Those taking part will have the opportunity to earn medals throughout the event by entering as many sessions as they like over the six dates with a chance to be a Boscombe Games medal winner for a Boscombe Market gold, silver or bronze gift hamper too! All events run from 12 to 3 pm.
