There's also a pop-up Skate Park with Rave Rover, snaking around as its roaming soundsystem chucks out disco edits and remixed classics courtesy of DJ Sara Blow, part of the all-female empowered group, Frau DJs.

The Skate Park also features The Hush Club and a Roller Disco plus participatory workshops and entertaining demos all weekend.

Each year, Bournemouth’s gardens are packed with intriguing installations from some of the best creative companies. The cavernous walk-in sculpture The Luminarium by Architects of Air is a must-see attraction in the Lower Gardens where an inflatable maze of winding paths and soaring domes awakens the senses and drenches audiences in radiant colour.
