Come say hello! Looking like a fab event! ✨

History is repeating itself this Saturday📣Take a look at this incredible throwback image from A & E.

🪖This Saturday, 20th June, the tanks and heavy armor are back for Armour & Embarkation 2026 and it is going to be bigger and better than ever before.

🕒 Why You Need to Arrive Early, from 11am.
The main convoy arrives at 3:30pm, but if you wait until then to turn up, you will miss half the magic (and struggle to find a viewing spot). We are expecting thousands of people to line the streets, so here is why you should beat the crowds and make a day of it:

🚩 From 11am - 5:30pm | Get up close and personal with the Military Vehicle Trust static display. Meet the crews and explore the machines that made history.
🚩11am – 5pm | Model Plane and Peg Doll making for the little ones with Houseworks Dorset CIC
🚩1:30pm – 2:30pm | The Decadettes performing live, turning the Square into a 1940s swing dancefloor💃
🚩All-Day Street Party | Our friends at Copper Street Brewery are hosting a brilliant street party all weekend long. Pop in early for a drink and soak up the sunshine.

Arriving early means you can grab a table at one of our restaurants, browse the shops, and lock down the absolute best view before the ground starts shaking at 3:30pm.

‘Ever wanted to try your hand at collage?

Wednesday 1st, Saturday 4th and Wednesday 8th July 2026, 10am - 12pm and 1 - 3pm

Join Coasts in Mind and artist Jodie House to create your own collage exploring coastal change in Poole Harbour. From the environment to wildlife, tourism to industry, the Harbour and its communities are continually evolving, adapting to new challenges and opportunities. Using Coasts in Mind’s unique image archive, we’d like to see your creative response to these changes and the messages you’d like to share about this beautiful landscape.

Each two-hour session will include a short introduction to the Coasts in Mind Project followed by a guided collage workshop where you’ll be let loose on a wide range of pictures and materials to work with. Each collage will be photographed and displayed in Poole Museum as part of the Coasts in Mind exhibition which runs until August 2026 (optional).

We encourage everyone who registers to bring along a photograph from somewhere in Poole Harbour that signifies change to you. The team will scan and print it so you can include it in your artwork.

Everyone is welcome, no experience necessary’
