Scaplen's Court and GardenNow open!
Free to visit. Full of character.
Scaplen's Court and Garden is now open following a transformational redevelopment of the entire Poole Museum estate over the last three years.
It's still full of art and 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?
The Old Town
Salt Pig
Your new go-to for coffee, cake, unbelievable quiche and catching up.
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 - you'll have to wait until the main Poole Museum opens to experience that beauty. Ps. it's going to be on open display - shhhhh)
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).
