Introduction

OUR PIER will capture the heritage of the Bournemouth's iconic landmark Bournemouth Pier and bring memories of its past to life for the first time.

Bournemouth Pier has a long history within the community and has played a vital role in the region's tourism. The pier is used as a symbol of identity for the town and hosts a range of events from races, carnivals, fairs, concerts to firework displays. Yet its heritage is unexplored and its prominent place within the community is not celebrated. This project will bring to life the wealth of memories from the past and capture the story of this amazing landmark. With thousands of tourists visiting each year, the film will inspire them with a fascinating look into local history, true stories and romantic tales and breathe life into a pier which most local people use without a second thought.

You could star in a new film capturing the history of our iconic pier!
