The £2.3m project celebrates the heritage of Upton Country Park by restoring, conserving and interpreting its historical features and landscapes. The project, completed October 2024, was made possible by the National Lottery’s Parks for People Programme, with additional funding from BCP Council and the Friends of Upton Country Park.

Poole Park Art & Makers Studio
Each summer in June the Poole Park Art & Makers Studio opens, welcoming local artists, artisans and handicrafters to our ‘pop-up shop’ in the park. The studio showcases a different artist each week, from Wednesday to Tuesday. Be sure to stop by and see what’s in store next time you’re visiting.
If you are an artist and interested in renting the studio space for next summer, please visit poolepark.uk/art-makers-studio for details.
