Dates move year to year. The live what's on calendar carries what is actually confirmed.
Harbour regattas and sailing events, quay events through summer, markets, seasonal family programming, and the Christmas Maritime Light Trail in December. Dates change each year, so check current listings.
July and August, when the Quay carries most of the summer programme, with a second peak in December around the Christmas events.
Sandbanks hotels, harbourside flats a street back from the Quay and the quieter beds out at Hamworthy and Broadstone, with the areas each one suits.
