Bournemouth 7s Festival, the UK’s largest sport and music festival, is returning to Chapel Gate, Bournemouth from June 2nd – 4th (Queen’s Jubilee Bank Holiday Weekend), with an incredible line-up of additions to the all-encompassing ‘Sporting Glastonbury’ experience, including 100 live performers & DJs and an unrivalled electric atmosphere that sets it apart from other UK festivals.

By day, the multi award-wining festival, set on the beautiful South Coast, will serve up some of the best sport of the year, including Rugby, Netball, Hockey, and Dodgeball players competing in both elite and social sports tournaments across the picturesque, 65-acre festival site.

By night, the line-up is set to spark fever pitch with festival-goers treated to a show that boasts an impressive multi-genre array of 12 themed arenas offering sing along parties, R’n’B, dance, techno, garage, Hip Hop and house music - you won’t want to miss this festival!

The 2022 Fancy Dress Theme for Bournemouth 7s will be ‘Best of British’. Be aware, Bournemouth 7s Festival-goers LOVE to dress up so expect to see an array of kings, queens, princes, princesses, historical figures, swinging 60s, British icons, sporting heroes, Spice Girls and punks on parade - it’s only fitting for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Weekend, after all! Let your mates know & get planning.

A highlight of the festival, the VIP Colourseum will return to bring the house down!

If that wasn’t enough Ya Mum’s House uplifting party experience is BACK, bringing the ultimate house vibes with an upgraded sound system for 2022. The Bunker arena will also return with an upgrade and the finest cuts of Drum and Bass in the world. Elsewhere on the line-up, festival-goers can immerse themselves in a world of disco, dancing among the trees in the much-loved Funky Forest - keeping everyone entertained in a jam-packed three days to remember.

Speaking on Bournemouth 7s 15th festival, founder Dodge Woodall said: “The sporting excellence, creativity and fun at Bournemouth 7s just keeps getting better. 2022 marks a hugely successful 15-year history of Bournemouth 7s Festival which has solidified a national reputation for putting on a great party for both sportspeople and festival-lovers. Personally, it’s a great milestone and just wonderful to see the events industry back to its full glory. I’m so proud of the team that will be delivering the Bournemouth 7s 2022 festival to the British public for Jubilee weekend. We’re on course to welcome our biggest crowd yet.
