Nearby accommodation

The Premier Inn Poole Centre (Holes Bay) is a convenient nearby option and has been popular with previous guests.

Alternatively, get together and share a local Airbnb, or explore hotels in the local area (opens in a new tab) to suit a range of requirements and budgets.

Alternative accommodation should be booked independently and rates will vary.

Local taxis

We recommend pre-booking, particularly for the end of the evening.

Sunday swim

We’re hoping to arrange an informal Sunday morning swim. Details are still to be confirmed, but if you’re tempted to make a full weekend of it, bring your swimming kit!

Further information will follow nearer the time.

A night to remember

It’s set to be a very special evening, and we hope you’ll make a weekend of it!
