MUSICIANS are being sought to take place in a busking competition in Bournemouth later this month.

The competition will take place as part of the Metropole Market on Sunday, May 27.

The Alice in Wonderland-themed event on Holdenhurst Road will be the first market to take place this year.

Other markets will be held on the last Sunday of every month in June, July, September and October with a break in August.

Visitors to the market will be encouraged to vote for their favourite street performers via a poll hosted on the market’s Facebook page.

The act with the most votes will be awarded with a paid slot in the main entertainment arena at June's market plus an exclusive Metropole Market Hamper.

Mark Cater, Metropole Market co-organiser, said: “We believe that talented buskers help create a positive, vibrant, and welcoming atmosphere for Bournemouth’s visitors and residents to enjoy.”

Those interested in taking part in the competition are invited to email admin@metropolemarket.co.uk.
