A bar and live entertainment venue in Dorset has unveiled a new large outdoor screen for sports fans.
1812, based at the Royal Exeter Hotel in Bournemouth town centre, hopes the new addition will create a seamless indoor and outdoor viewing experience for major sporting events and further establish it as a destination for live entertainment and major events in Bournemouth town centre.
Richard Carr, owner of Royal Exeter Group, said: "Live sport has always had a unique way of bringing people together and creating an atmosphere that simply can’t be replicated at home.
"The new outdoor screen allows us to take that experience to the next level, giving guests even more opportunities to enjoy live events in a social setting.
