We’re preparing to reopen our cafes, leisure venues, attractions and libraries while meeting the new Government guidelines for tier two from Wednesday 2 December

Do check websites for opening times. We recommend you pre-book online for museums and attractions if you can. We welcome visitors on the day – subject to availability – but why not guarantee your entry tickets by planning in advance?

Fancy some culture? Poole Museum will be open 7 days a week from 2 December, and Russell Cotes Art Gallery and Museum will reopen on Saturday 5 December.

If you’re running low on reading materials, all libraries will be open from Wednesday, except Poole which opens Thursday. Canford Cliffs, Parkstone and Ensbury Park will operate an order & collect service.

Heading to the seafront? Prom café, the tourist information centre and the arcade at Pier Approach and Prom Diner Boscombe will be open from Wednesday. Challenge the family from Saturday to adventure golf at Smugglers Cove as we reopen for weekends.

Beach lodges are back from Friday 4 December and there is still availability if you fancy a last minute get-away by the sea with an amazing view.

Needing to get moving? For the early birds, Two Riversmeet Leisure Complex will be open at 6.30am on Wednesday! Our Gyms, Fitness Classes, Swimming Pool, 3G Football pitches, Sports Hall, Squash Courts and vending Café will all be open. Pre-booking advised.

Leisure centres run by BH Live and Everyone Active are also looking forward to seeing you again from Wednesday. Check their websites for details.

If you love a cuppa on your trips out, Upton Country Park have takeaway services and don’t worry, the loos are open too!
