August Events

August in Poole is a month packed with vibrant events and outdoor adventures, making it an ideal destination for summer visitors.

One of the highlights is the Poole Quay Bike Nights, held every Tuesday. Motorcycle enthusiasts from all over gather to showcase their impressive rides, creating a lively atmosphere along the quay. These evenings are complemented by spectacular fireworks displays, lighting up the summer sky on Thursdays and 'Car Nights on Poole Quay' on Friday evenings!

A trip to Poole wouldn't be complete without exploring the rich history and heritage at the Poole Museum. Situated in a historic quayside warehouse, the museum offers fascinating exhibits on the town's maritime past. For those seeking entertainment, the Lighthouse, Poole's Centre for the Arts, presents a variety of shows throughout August. From theatrical performances and live music to stand-up comedy, there's something to suit every taste.

For a more serene experience, Upton Country Park provides a beautiful setting for leisurely walks, picnics, and exploring its charming walled garden and historic house.

Poole's beaches are another major attraction, offering golden sands and clear waters perfect for sunbathing, swimming, and water sports. Brownsea Island, located just a short boat trip from Poole Quay, is a haven for nature lovers, with its diverse wildlife and scenic trails. The Tank Museum, a bit further afield, provides a unique insight into military history with its extensive collection of armoured vehicles.

No visit to Poole is complete without taking a boat trip from the quay. These trips offer stunning views and unforgettable experiences on the water. With so much to see and do, Poole in August promises an unforgettable summer getaway for everyone.
