The "Beating of the Bounds" is an ancient tradition celebrating the historic boundaries of Poole with this year's theme all about wellbeing!

To mark the occasion, councilors will be taking on a whopping 54km cycle ride around the boundary. The route will travel through Upton, past Canford School, and along the beach, finishing with a celebration at the Quay. Expect community stalls, live music, and maybe even a few pirates!

Plans are still coming together, but we’re likely to need some friendly volunteers to help with marshalling close to the end of the route around Whitecliff Park. If you’d like to be part of this special day, sign up now to save the date - we’ll be sure to share more details soon.

We’d love for you to get involved and be part of this brilliant community tradition!
