Originally conceived as a replacement for the older Poole Arts Centre, it houses a theatre, concert hall, studio theatre and art galleries. The building’s design incorporates extensive use of glass and steel, creating a distinctive architectural presence on the waterfront. It serves as a key cultural venue for the town of Poole and the wider Dorset region, hosting national touring companies alongside local productions and events. The concert hall within Lighthouse is designed to accommodate orchestral performances with specific attention paid to acoustics. It regularly welcomes visiting orchestras and musical ensembles in addition to hosting other performance types.
