Making a night of it

Set directly on the seafront in the town centre, the BIC is a short walk from the beach, the Lower Gardens and a wide choice of restaurants and bars for before or after the performance. Coastal evenings in November can turn cold, so dress warmly for the walk to the venue. Tickets are booked through the venue's official listing, which also carries the latest times and prices.
