If you're new to Bournemouth - welcome!
Bournemouth has a brilliant LGBT scene, where students are welcomed along with locals.
Most gay bars are situated in the Triangle - at the top of Commercial Road. This area is undergoing a huge overhaul, making the outdoor parties hosted there extra-special.
Listed loves the Branksome, 2930 The Triangle, The Baker's Arms and DMYK bars. Each bar offers something different every night, so be sure to check out the LGBT listings in Listed magazine's Nightlife section each month, or their websites.
St Michael's hotel and Hamilton Hall, Boscombe, also offer gay-oriented events, like coffee mornings and cabaret acts.
White Tiger is the only gay store you'll ever need - find it in the Triangle.
Over The Rainbow is a free NHS sexual health service, an essential visit for newcomers and veterans!
So go and explore the Triangle, and discover which bar is your favourite!
