Quayside and town markets, seasonal fairs and the farm shops and producers around the harbour.
Poole has been a trading port since the thirteenth century, so markets are not a recent addition here.
Markets run in the town centre and around the Quay through the year, with the calendar thickening through summer and at Christmas.
Dorset grows and makes a great deal, and the farm shops and producers around the harbour and out towards Wimborne are worth the detour if you are self-catering.
Check what's on for market dates, and see cafes and delis.
