Welcome to Poole

Enjoy Poole at its leaf kicking, beach loving, foodie best this autumn.  From shoreline strolls and glorious harbour sunsets to ghoulish ghost walks around old merchant streets, Poole is packed with a bumper crop of nature, arts and action to sustain body and soul.

Inspire your inner wild child as Poole’s parks, gardens and heathland put on a spectacular show to explore.  As migration gets underway, Poole Harbour is one of the best sites in the UK to see the annual changing cast of thousands of birds in the company of friendly expert guides.   

Make the most of Poole’s coast with the most with action packed ways to cycle, run or get on the water.  From marathon challenges to woodland walks or jet ski jaunts let Poole motivate and invigorate your outdoor activities. 

Autumn also offers the chance to indulge as great restaurants make the most of glorious local produce with seasonal flavours.  Find fabulous seafood at some of the best waterside tables in the UK, with bars, cafes, fine dining and traditional pubs on offer, there’s always the chance to find the perfect cosy corner with an open fire. 

And with picture harbour views, beach front hideaways and 5* caravan and camping the ideal spot for the ideal autumn getaway is guaranteed.  

Feed your soul with festivals celebrating culture, cuisine, music, comedy drama and more with Arts by the Sea, One World by the Sea and Zombie Fest.  A favourite with families, the changing seasons offer a bumper crop of must do activities and events this Half Term and Halloween with quayside quests, spooky castles and squirrel hunting top of the list. 

Remember, remember Poole’s famous 5 November which will see Poole Quay packed with family entertainment followed by a spectacular free fireworks display over the iconic Harbour.

However you spend it #lovepoole this autumn.
