THE HUGELY popular Bournemouth 7s Festival returns to the town for its 13 year on May 22.

A festival for sports and music lovers alike, this festival has grown to attract 30,000 people to the south coast on the last Bank Holiday Weekend in May.

Now, with tickets for the event already being rapidly sold, this year's festival looks to be even bigger with new entertainment arenas, a brand-new campsite and an innovative Theatre of Teams sports hub.

The expanded Main Festival Arena will host brand new festival arenas, to be announced, whilst festival favourites – the Beer Tent, Bunker and Big Top return for yet another year.

The festival’s campsite and exclusive glamping area will be located right next to the arena, offering guests immediate access to the festival tents and bars.

The all-new Theatre of Teams is set to revolutionise the playing experience at the festival.

With easy access next to the festival entrance, the sporting hub will move Bournemouth 7s rugby pitches into the centre of the sporting action, creating an all new atmosphere for both the rugby and netball cups.

Festival Founder, Roger Woodall said: "We’ve been working hard to take the festival experience for all of our guests to the next level.

"From the exciting new party arenas in our much-improved festival arena to the Theatre of Teams, this looks like one not to miss. We genuinely believe there is something for everyone at Bournemouth 7s."

By day, 400 Rugby, Netball, Hockey, Dodgeball and Volleyball teams compete in a range of elite and social sports tournaments across the 65-acre site.

By night, the festival offers 12 vibrantly themed festival areas hosted by an array of live acts and DJs, demonstrating that this festival offers entertainment and enjoyment for all festival-goers.
