Event Spaces

Primary Event Space

The event space on Sandpit Field is a key driver for the local economy, attracting visitors to Swanage each year for a wide range of events including the Swanage Carnival. To enhance and preserve this vital space, the new option offers a slightly larger and flatter event area than currently available.

Information on the new option is available here

Other key improvements include:

  • Enhanced electric and water points installed at various suitable locations.
  • Increased access points to the event space.

For the new option to facilitate the expanded event space, Walrond Road will need to be filled in, while retaining a pedestrian route from De Moulham Road to the seafront. 

This approach not only creates a larger event field but also provides a cost-effective solution for disposing of construction spoil, reducing the costs and environmental impact of transporting waste off-site.

Do you agree with the filling in of Walrond Road?

Secondary Event Space 

The new option incorporates a secondary event space next to the spa beach hut area which could be booked for use by families or groups for small events and daytime celebrations such as, weddings and birthdays. This offers a natural space with a small shelter, views of the seafront and access from De Moulham Road.

Please help us to think about the future of the secondary event space. 

If any of the following features were added, would you make use of them? 

Select features that are of interest to you. Please note that elements may not be immediately added to the space in the first instance, allowing the space to evolve over time.

Green Space and Planting

The new option contains significant additional planting to benefit nature and enhance the landscape. The essential option will provide some additional planting in certain locations with replacement planting where necessary due to the stabilisation works.

In the first round of consultation, enhanced planting for nature and biodiversity was highlighted as important by the community, with 53% of respondents strongly agreeing that "Improving the green space through increasing the range of planting to significantly improve biodiversity, increase natural shade, attractiveness, and interest" was a key feature of a new Green Seafront scheme.

The new option includes significant enhancements to the green spaces. Please see examples of planting themes featured on the planting mood boards >> here  which can be incorporated into the final design.

Please pick your top two planting schemes from those listed.
