About
The current bandstand was built in 1935, with its unique semi‑circular design and blue domed roof; there is no other like it in the United Kingdom. It has a main arena, middle and upper balconies and seats for 1,600. For many years the Bandstand has played host to a full programme of concerts and events and has survived as an outdoor musical entertainment venue because of its ever–changing programme, introducing new audiences and new entertainment without forgetting the more popular traditional concerts. The Bandstand to this day plays an important part in the musical entertainment on the south coast offering around 140–150 concerts per year.
