Our family live in Christchurch and use it and so do when we visit. Such a welcoming place and staff and would be a great shame to see it change

It is the most welcoming and friendly location. We decided to move here from Warwickshire over a cocktail. We walk a puppy there and have met some amazing new friends.

Sobo Beach brings countless community groups together in a way that no other place has in the 20 years I have lived here. It is a safe, inclusive place for us all. The owners have done a fabulous job of contributing to our community and now the community wants to support them.

It’s our happy place. Always makes us feel good when we are there, whether it’s coffee, a drink by the sea in the afternoon, a silent disco, Sunday sessions. It’s the best place to be. Our family are from the north love it as much as we do. Our daughter worked there for her first job which gave her a great foundation. It’s a community. Always welcoming and recognising the regulars. Especially Rich, Sean and Claire. We would be devastated to see SoBo go. So many happy memories.
