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.
