The BIC has its own multi-storey car park with 644 spaces. The car park operates Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) and will register your vehicle on arrival. Take a ticket on arrival and pay before exiting. It is open 24 hours a day and has ramp access to the foyer from all levels, with accessible spaces on levels 1, 2, and 3. 
 

Please check directly with the BIC for the latest parking charges: https://www.bic.co.uk/parking 

Alternative parking can be found in the area, including the Bournemouth Pavilion car park (165 spaces) located on Westover Road, which is a short walk from the BIC. 

We also encourage visitors to use public transport where possible. The closest bus stops are: 

• The Bournemouth Pier bus stop (Stand HH) for Morebus routes 1a, 1b, 1c, 5, 5a, 6, 6a, 12, and 22 on Exeter Road, just a 1-minute walk from the venue. 

• The Westover Road bus stop (Stand 2) for Morebus routes M1, M2, 13, 17, 32, 33, and Unibus U4 on Westover Road, by the Bournemouth Pavilion, an 8-minute walk from the venue. 

Bike racks are also located by the pedestrian entrance to the car park. 
 

Please note: The Bournemouth International Centre and Julia’s House Children’s Hospice do not take any responsibility for possible acts of theft or damage to your property. 

Julia’s House receives just eight per cent ongoing funding from the Government, so we rely on public support and donations to continue to provide our critical care to the most seriously ill children and their families in the local community.  Without that support we wouldn’t exist.  
 

Our costs are increasing along with the demand for our care with more children being born and living longer with rare and complex medical conditions, so each year we need to raise more money to ensure we can be there for every family that needs us.    
 

While we are currently still able to maintain our care service, over the next few years we do need to significantly increase our income to meet the continuing increase in our care costs.  
 

The Great Tail Trail will help us raise critical funds and awareness about the vital care we provide in the local community.

We chose mermaid tails as they reflect the very special Mermaid Suite at our Dorset hospice in Corfe Mullen, where families can spend time when their child is at the end of their life. In the Mermaid Suite we provide round the clock clinical care, a listening ear and emotional support for parents and dedicated time for brothers and sisters, so that families can make their most of their final days together.  
 

The mermaid tails are unmistakable and individual, just like our care – especially tailored to the needs of each child and their family.
