Boscombe was voted Pier of the Year for 2010 by the National Piers Society? “Winning the Pier of the Year award is a great honour and everyone involved in the pier’s restoration, reopening and the events held on it since can feel very proud.” See the full article in the Echo Best Amongst Its Piers
Inspieration - the Friends of Boscombe Pier was officially formed in September 2008 following the ratification of the constitution at the first open meeting held at The Chine Hotel. Since then we have successfully offered support to grant applications for the sea front, and worked with the council to help represent resident's views. We are activley promoting the pier and it's surroundings as space for artistic and cultural events. With ever increasing interest in Boscombe seafront and with the development of the surf reef our membership is continuing to grow.
Free events for the local community on and around the Pier
