What a way to kick off October at Patch in ! 💥

We loved filling our space with back-to-back celebrations of the people, music, and creative energy that make our coastal community so special.

We turned up the volume for the Arts by the Sea Festival Fringe festival with a 3-day takeover by Hearing Colours. Hand-built over 8 years, this bespoke analogue system brought crisp highs, deep bass, and our community together here at Patch. Huge congratulations to sound system builder and DJ Sam Edwards for bringing this unforgettable event to life, alongside all the other incredible DJs including sets from Rob da Bank.

Following, was the launch party of Pier Journal’s Volume 13 journal. We gathered to celebrate authentic local journalism, creative storytelling, and independent print culture across Dorset, fueled by delicious bites from CALABRESE KITCHEN DELI • BOURNEMOUTH. A massive shoutout to Pier Journal Director Laura K Williams and our very own Event Executive DonnaSmart77 for curating such a brilliant evening.
