On the Beach evenings, sponsored by Sands Brasserie, Sandbanks, is a new event being held every Thursday throughout July and August on Poole’s award winning beaches. The fun packed programme has been designed to appeal to all ages, with entertainment including live music from samba, steel and jazz bands to street entertainment and theatre.
