Lighthouse, Poole, is a multi-arts centre that opened in 1990, built on the site of the former Gaumont cinema. The building itself incorporates elements of the original cinema’s facade while providing modern facilities for theatre, dance, film, and music performances. It serves as a significant cultural hub for Poole and the wider Dorset region. The venue's main concert hall is designed to accommodate orchestral performances with specific attention given to acoustics. Lighthouse regularly hosts touring companies and productions alongside locally produced events. It underwent a significant refurbishment completed in 2023 enhancing accessibility and audience facilities.
