Professor Brian Cox will bring his new world tour to the Bournemouth International Centre in Dorset on Saturday 7 November and Sunday 8 November 2026. The show, titled Emergence, aims to explore the history of the universe and how natural laws create complex structures. This visit gives local residents and school groups a chance to see a world-class production in their own community instead of travelling to a major city.
The tour is being brought to the town by the promoter Phil McIntyre Live and will be held in the Windsor Hall. Ticket prices for the two evening performances start at £46.75. Organisers describe the event as a cinematic experience that uses music and large-scale visuals to explain science and biology.
The Bournemouth International Centre is operated by a social enterprise and charity called BH Live. The venue and its operator are estimated to contribute between £21 million and £66 million to the local economy each year through a combination of business and cultural tourism. The upcoming show is expected to increase evening footfall for nearby businesses, including hotels and restaurants.
Brian Cox currently holds several Guinness World Records for his live science shows, including one for selling 369,297 tickets for his previous “Horizons” tour. His new 2026 tour will also visit other countries including the USA and Australia. This local stop in Bournemouth is part of a larger international tour intended to make science accessible to a wide audience.
