Car Nights on Poole Quay are a summer season of open-air motor meets, when classic and custom cars roll onto the historic quayside for the evening. The season includes a date on 3 July 2026 at Poole Quay, a short hop west of Bournemouth.
What to expect
Expect rows of lovingly restored classics and eye-catching custom builds lined up along the water, with owners often happy to talk through their pride and joy. It is a relaxed, family-friendly gathering set against the backdrop of the harbour, its pubs and seafood restaurants — as much an evening stroll as a car show.
Planning your visit
Poole Quay sits on the western edge of the conurbation, an easy trip from central Bournemouth by car, bus or train. Dates and timings can change across the season, so check the venue’s official listing for the latest details before you travel, and allow a little extra time to park on busier evenings.
