Scaplen's Court and GardenNow open!
Free to visit. Full of character.
Scaplen's Court and Garden is open to everyone following a transformational redevelopment of the entire Poole Museum estate over the last three years.
It's still full of culture, but now with more coffee, creativity, and character than ever before - and it's open year round - not just when we're all in a good mood over the summer months.
What’s inside?
Creative events
For all ages – seaweed workshops, creative writing, performance and more. Dive in - we've got something for everyone (apart from our renowned logboat - this is over the way at Poole Museum - and it's looking fabulous)
The Old Town
Salt Pig
Your new go-to for coffee, cake, unbelievable quiche and catching up.
Tours and trails
Tours and trails through Poole’s past - discover the stories that shaped this little house (or grand residence back in the merchant days)
We also have...
A walled herb and physic garden (like a hug in plant form), a brand-new lift (because accessibility matters. And who doesn't love pressing buttons?) and spaces to hire for your own unforgettable moments - from parties to poetry readings (if that's your thing).
