Front row seat to the chopping board πŸ”ͺ

Seafood and Sounds is back on 12 and 13 September and you're invited to our live kitchen demos. Talented local chefs will be cooking fresh Poole seafood in front of you, sharing the tricks they actually use and answering the questions you have always wanted to ask.

Three demos a day, both days. 11.30am, 1.30pm and 3.30pm.

Free to watch. No booking. Just turn up hungry.

Little ones in tow? Free children's entertainment is running inside too. Saturday 11am to 3pm and Sunday 1pm to 3pm.

Welcome to Falkland Square. A great place to grab a minute in the sun, pick up some food or wander the shops just outside our doors. Poole's meeting point, right on our doorstep.

Where are all the K-pop fans? πŸ‘€

Primark has landed a K-pop merch drop and it is very much worth a look. Think drinks bottles, lunch boxes, mugs and bedding.

Get in quick, this sort of thing does not hang around.

Almost nothing is free any more. Every app wants a subscription. Every screen wants paying back somehow. Then there is the library. You walk in, you take what you want, you bring it back when you are done. No cash needed. Right here at The Dolphin, open to everyone in Poole.

Thousands of years of tradition, right here in Poole.

Guardian Chinese Herb and Acupuncture brings a practice with roots stretching back over two millennia to The Dolphin. Herbal medicine and acupuncture have been passed down through generations of practitioners in China, built on the idea of treating the whole person rather than one thing at a time.

The shelves of dried herbs, roots and barks tell that story. Every blend is made up by hand, the same way it has been done for centuries.

Pop in for a chat if you're curious. They're always happy to explain how it works.
