HOW TO FIND US Pavilion Dance South West is located at the back of Bournemouth Pavilion, Westover Road. We are close to all major bus routes. Parking is available nearby at several car parks but can be limited when town gets busy and so please plan accordingly. As the Pavilion Car Park is often full (£2.70 for 2 hours), we recommend Central Car Park on Upper Hinton Road, BH1 2HH, which is a short walk away and £1.10 for 2 hours (prices correct at time of print. Please check www.bournemouth.gov.uk for updates).
