A retreat where I meet up with friends and our children. Sobo has great facilities and provides a fab hub for us.

Its a unique venue that attracts a wide range of lovely people

It's a communal hub and integral to the mental physical and spiritual health of the community. Taking this would leave a huge hole in Southbourne as there is so much yet to come from this wicked place

It's great to see how much it offers for the community, I pop in whenever I can and there's always some group or other engaged there, so much going on that is great for the common good.

Its a place I use all year round! To stop for a coffee, drinks in the summer. Sobo sessions on a sunday! Full of Community spirit and we need this in our town! Which is rapidly loosing all community . Bournemouth council listen to your people for a change!

It has such a lovely atmosphere. Keep it independent. It must not be allowed to be stolen from the people by a mean spirited BCP Council, who should be ashamed of themselves.

Great place to visit, always liked to start and end the walk to Hengistbury Head or Bournemouth there.

I’m here most Sundays for their DJ in the summer. Is amazing not only over the summer for cocktails and a perfect beach bar but also in the winter for a cozy beach bar atmosphere

I pop in on winter dog walks and also for an occasional afternoon Sunday session. It has become a big part of my coping strategy

This is my family’s happy place! I come here with my kids (7 and 9), and have hosted lots of friends from Canada here, as we used to live there, and this place has been described as “as amazing as the Rockies” by some of them, with the beautiful views and incredibly warm friendly vibe. PLEASE don’t take this away - This truly is community at its heart, and beauty.

nowhere else like it, great vibe and community building venue. Run for local people by local people. Safe space to clear my head, have a coffee and meet like minded people. My dog loves visiting too!
