The festival is an annual eight-day event held in early-October and will place emphasis on Bournemouth's unique location and spaces.

In 2018 the festival enters its eighth year.

More information can be found on the festival website www.artsbythesea.co.uk The contract will be for one year with the option to extend the contract annually for a further three years.
