Arts Promoters

Poole and Bournemouth have an increasingly vibrant arts scene but much of it still remains underground. Small-scale arts promoters are often putting on more innovative, interesting and fun productions that the large institutions but their lack of financial resources makes it difficult for them to market to a wider audience.

We work with and support other organizations and individuals seeking to stage events in Poole.

Local Arts Promoters

Bournemouth Creatives, an arts and creative industries networking group similar to TAP in Bournemouth.

Dorset Music Forum

Dramatic Productions, a local theatre company.

Funnybone Comedy Club

Mr Kyps, a Poole music venue putting on mostly tribute bands but a few nights of original music each month.

The Pockets Progression, a local theatre company.

Strawberry Fields Presents, an organization marketing local arts and music performers.

White Lantern Film, producers of award-winning film and drama.
