South Coast Bears Bournemouth, UK. A gay mans social group for Bears, Cubs, admirers and friends meeting first Friday of every month in Bournemouth.

A Big British Beefy Bear welcome!

Located on the south west coast of Great Britain, Bournemouth and the surrounding area is home to a large concentration of bears - but don’t take our word for it, come and visit and check out the gorgeous grizzlies for yourself!

Due to the increasing numbers of Bears on the south coast gay scene and in Bournemouth, a group of locals volunteered to form a club in order to organise events both in and out of gay Bournemouth for Bears, Cubs and admirers.

Fifth Fur-tastic Year!

Whilst some areas of the gay community seem to have stopped going out, Bears have increased in numbers. 2009 is our 5th year and we are still going strong!

Monthly Events

We've made some positive changes for 2009, the 5th year of South Coast Bears, to increase numbers of our already very popular night. We now fabulously sprawl all over 2930 THE TRIANGLE, our new regular MEN ONLY monthly venue. All are welcome to our events: Bears, Cubs, admirers and you don't have to be furry to be a friend!

Annual Events

Our annual event the Bournemouth Bear Bash has proved very popular and grows in size every year. Our fourth Bear Bash event was held in 2008 over three days in July.

Can I join as a member?

We have simplified the running of the club, and this means no membership is required, just come along.

Is there a charge?

No!

Event news is updated here on our web site every month.
