STOP EVERYTHING.... WE HAVE BIG NEWS!!!

This is one we have been so excited to tell you about.

Activate Games UK is coming to The Dolphin Poole!!!
Yes, the same jaw dropping interactive gaming experience that has people queuing at the O2 in London is landing right here in Poole.

Think floors that light up, lasers to dodge, walls to scale and challenges that push you to your limit. Grab an all you can play pass and take on every game as many times as you dare. Climb the leaderboard. Beat your mates. Then go again.

We have been planning this for a long time and we could not be more excited to finally share it.

Get ready Poole. A whole new way to play is on its way. 🥰

♿ Access should be for everyone.

The lifts in The Dolphin's car parks are still out of order, making it hard or impossible for wheelchair users, parents with prams, and many of our older shoppers to get up to the shops.

Poole's town centre should welcome everyone. We're calling on BCP Council to replace the failing car park lifts and create safe, reliable access for all. 💗

Nothing is impossible!

Here is your chance to step inside the world of a record breaking mountaineer.

On 13 and 14 June the Nimsdai Foundation takes on a 24 hour challenge in GATHER at The Dolphin, a physical feat inspired by the mountaineering achievements of founder Nims Purja. A nominated team pushes through the night and you can throw yourself in too.

Pull on a real Everest summit suit. Take on the What Should I Pack challenge. Push your limits with the 14 Peaks altitude game. Watch the story unfold on the big screen then shop the Nimsdai Store, where a share of every sale goes straight back to the charity.

Open Saturday 13 June 7.30am to 9.30pm, and Sunday 14 June, 7.30am to 6.30pm. Just drop in.

Public participants welcome with a signed disclaimer. Under 18s with an adult.

Poole Printmakers are in GATHER this week and it’s a brilliant one ✨

This local collective of around 60 artists has filled the space with work made using traditional printmaking techniques passed down through generations. The exhibition alone is worth the visit but the best bit? You can have a go yourself. There’s a table all set up where anyone can drop in and make their own print to take home.

Free, fun and open to everyone until Sunday. Come and get inky!
