Ways to Enjoy Nights Out in Dorset

If you plan to spend your holidays in Dorset with your group of friends, you are sure to have a superb time. During the daytime, you can spend hours shopping and visiting Dorset’s castles, forts, gardens, adventure theme parks, nature trails, beaches and restaurants. Once the sunsets, you can visit Dorset’s trendy nightclubs, theatres, lively bars and fantastic restaurants during your holidays in Dorset. The best part about opting for the Dorset holiday cottages is that they are all conveniently located near Dorset’s popular attractions. The Dorset holiday cottages are self-catering units that offer a clean, comfortable and luxurious stay. The comfortable Dorset holiday cottages can accommodate a small or large group of people. Here are some fun things to do at night during your holidays in Dorset.

Bliss

Bliss is one of the most popular nightclubs in Dorset and is a must-visit attraction during your holidays in Dorset. Located in Bournemouth, this nightclub is just a short taxi ride away from the upscale Dorset holiday cottages. The entire nightclub is spread out over two floors. You can enjoy some fantastic drinks at the nightclub’s bar. The bartenders whip up some mean cocktails too. However, the drinks don’t come cheap here, as this is a premium nightclub. You will be able to spend the night dancing away to the wee hours of the morning. Bliss always has some great DJs and performers that liven up the night. The décor is plush, with some sections that offer comfortable and fancy lounge chairs to rest after dancing to the DJ’s superb beats. On the weekends, Bliss hosts special nights such as 50% Off Fridays and Saturdays @ Bliss, which offers free entry to couples.

O2 Academy

Yet another great way to spend a fabulous night out during your holidays in Dorset is by visiting the O2 Academy. This live show venue hosts club nights as well as concerts. The O2 Academy is located on Christchurch Road in Bournemouth, just a short drive away from the comfortable Dorset holiday cottages. It was originally established in 1895 as the Grand Pavilion Theatre when it was used as a circus venue. Over the years, it was used as a dance hall and then later in the 1970s, it was one of the most popular discos. Today, it has been renamed as the Opera House, complete with a grand auditorium with three levels of seating. Thus, a visit to the iconic O2 Academy is a must during your holidays in Dorset. You are guaranteed to love the O2 Academy’s richly decorated interior, which has an art- deco theme. Visit the O2 Academy to attend popular live acts by famous musicians. However, it is highly important to book tickets for these shows in advance.
