Lighthouse, Poole's Centre for the Arts Concerts 2024-2025

Such a fabulous venue for live music. Saw Paul Weller here on 4/4/24 and it was utterly magic. Great size to be big enough for a good crowd but yet still managing to be intimate enough that no matter where you are you have a good view. It has a fabulous floor too!!! It moves!!! With everyone jumping and dancing you could actually feel the motion and it heightened all the fun and drama, truly magical place. Toilets were a little on the small side for the amount of people but the queue for these even at peak times wasn't too bad and the bar was very fast service. I'll be keeping an eye on future events here for sure.

Fantastic evening out. Lovely intimate theatre. Well planned that I could see well without my view being obstructed by someone tall in front. The venue has different theatres and some very good entertainment. Have seen several shows here now and never been disappointed.

I saw "Money for Nothing" Dire Straits Tribute band and loved it. The acoustics are pretty good now. My only gripe would be the lack of seating outside the Concert Hall. People turn up early so they need somewhere to sit.

Easy access to and from nearby car park, which had relativelycheap parking. Minimal bar queue when we went and interval drinks could be ordered before. Polite and friendly staff. Good visibility from our seat mid auditorium. Not a very interesting building architecturally, maybe, but it serves the purpose well. Toilets were clean and not too crowded and no queues. Can't think of any negatives, actually. Overall, probably our favourite venue for theatre and music in our area.

One of the best venues for arts related performances in the the southwest.I had the opportunity to experience this with their jazz evenings when I performed with Afro Jazz project Thokizile In January this year. A fantastic experience couldn’t rate highly enough 🙏🏽 #jazz #artsdorset #livemusic
