Can you promote in r/bournemouth?

Welcome to r/Bournemouth - a space for everyone across the BCP area.

The short answer

Be helpful and local-first: provide useful, relevant answers, disclose your affiliation, avoid repeated promotional posts and only share business/event info when directly relevant.

What works here

  • Posting local events, gigs, comedy nights
  • Answering local questions with relevant service mentions
  • One-off, clearly relevant promotional posts

What gets posts removed

  • Repeated or spammy promotional posts
  • Broad advertising not tied to Bournemouth/BCP relevance
  • Private solicitations after public posting without disclosure
