The Bournemouth International Centre (BIC) suffered a burst rainwater pipe causing damage to a corridor area, but managed to keep its current exhibitions and RAWK Ice Skating Rink open.
The Bournemouth Pavilion's Theatre Bar also suffered ceiling damage due to a burst pipe, but will still go ahead with its Rio Summer Ball and performance of Dreamcoats and Petticoats tonight.
BIC operations manager Pete Woods praised staff for their quick response: "All staff responded immediately and very quickly had the situation under control, ensuring business continuity and no interruption of events for our customers and passers-by seeking refuge from the rain."
