Increase the Peace is a community-powered festival across Boscombe High Street, bringing artists, venues and neighbours together to raise funds, grow connection and demonstrate the power of an open heart.
Increase the Peace CIC works with different organisations & charities in Dorset to promote understanding and encourage people to find similarities rather than differences between us.Our main event is a 1 day, community-powered festival celebrating creativity, connection and collective action. Across venues inside and outside along Boscombe High Street, artists, musicians, neighbours and local businesses come together to raise money, open doors and grow community.
Welcoming, inclusive, and easy to join
Built with local venues and artists
Supporting local charities
“Increase the Peace was created to show what’s possible when a community chooses connection. Across Boscombe, we open our doors, our stages and our hearts. By welcoming the stranger and working together, we can grow something powerful, raising vital funds for local charities and proving that kindness is not small. It changes things.”From Claire, Founder & Creative Director
