The Poole Guide

Submit an Event

Running something in Poole? Send the details and we will consider it for the guide's calendar.

The guide's what's on calendar is free to appear in, and listings are editorial rather than paid.

What to send

Email [email protected] with "Event" in the subject line and include:

  • The event name, and the dates and times it runs
  • The venue and its full address
  • Ticket price, or whether it is free, and a booking link
  • A short description, two or three sentences
  • An image if you have one you own the rights to

What gets listed

Events open to the public in Poole and the surrounding area: festivals, markets, live music, theatre, sport, family activities and anything on the harbour.

How long it takes

Send it with reasonable notice. Events submitted a few days before they happen are unlikely to reach anyone in time.

Running a venue or business rather than a one-off event? See list your business.
