Rainy days are great..........sometimes.
Although our area gets more sunshine than other parts, we still get our fair share of rain, but even if turns from a laze on the beach to a brolly day, there’s still plenty to do while waiting for the sun to pop back out.
Try one of our fantastic range of attractions, some of which will educate and entertain you while keeping dry, or for the youngsters try one of our indoor play centres - run around and burn off that energy, or visit an indoor climbing centre where if you’re feeling brave you can take the awesome zip wire - rain doesn’t stop play…
Get creative at an indoor craft centre, rediscover your childhood on a steam train through beautiful countryside, or enjoy a cream tea and some of our wonderful Dorset fare in a local café.
Or why not put on your mac, put up your umbrella and take a stroll – the beaches are lovely whatever the weather, and some of best kitesurfing conditions are on rainy days, you’ll be singing in the rain in no time.
