"Two chaps and a Bottle of Apres Vino..." 🍷

Hello SB friends! Have you watched this yet?! If you haven't, you must! The 'Apres Hour' interview filmed by the talented local team at The Sandbanks Build. 🎥👌❤️

Tom Glanfield sits down with football legend and Sandbanks neighbour, Harry Redknapp, for a relaxed chat about life, football and why he chose to call the peninsula home.

I enjoyed their video so much that I made it my featured spotlight of the week on the Sandbanks website! 🏖️

Grab a drink of your choice, support our amazing local creators, and watch the full feature on the SB website here:

"What's Red and Green and floats on water?"

Answer: You - try something new?!

The last bastion of what was clearly an epic weekend for everyone who attended.... 🚜

As the echoes of SandFest and the thundering hooves of SandPolo fade in to a lifetime memory, I must admit I have to tip a hat to the organisers. Watching the magic from the sidelines last weekend, hosting many thousands of people on the beautiful Jurassic backdropped shores of Sandbanks is legendary, but making an entire festival disappear in just a few days after is truly admirable ✌❤.

Massive respect to their unseen crew, who must have worked tirelessly in the heat to pack it all away and return our golden sands exactly as they found them - pristine, golden and clean.

If an event team can dismantle a stadium-sized party and leave the beach absolutely spotless... perhaps we can ALL leave the beach just as we found it? I mean... Come on people!😉 (I'm speaking about the 1% of course!)

Go Fun. Go Sun. Go Leave No Trace. 🏖️☀️

Peace & Tranquillity...

Sandbanks remains one of the most popular & best holiday locations in the UK, for good reason...
..but when you really need a peaceful moment to yourself, there's always a place to be - sometimes you just need to explore more to find it! 😉🙌✌❤🏖
