The Italian Easter Market returns to Poole this weekend, bringing a variety of food, artisan goods, and live entertainment to the town centre. The event will take place on Saturday 4 April and Sunday 5 April 2026, running from 10am until 5pm at Pitwines Close, located outside the large Sainsbury’s.
Organised by local business Limoncello Cafe Bar and sponsored by Poole BID, the market features approximately 10 stalls. Visitors can browse a range of items including Italian fashion, sunglasses, and flowers, alongside food offerings such as focaccia, paninis, gnocchi, charcuterie, cheeses, wines, gelato, and sorbets. Pastries available will include traditional items like cannoli, sfogliatella, and pastiera tarts.
Traders at the market include Limoncello, Vicolo, Casa di Vini, Baboo Gelato, and Pizzeria Valona. In addition to the stalls, live music will be performed throughout both days. Families planning a visit on Sunday can also participate in a special Easter egg giveaway.
This market is the second Italian-themed event coordinated by Limoncello Cafe Bar and Poole BID, following a successful event held in December 2025. The sponsorship is part of the BID’s wider efforts to support the town centre. In March 2026, the organisation secured a second five-year term to continue its work, with 83 percent of local businesses voting in favour of the plan. This mandate allows the BID to raise approximately £350,000 annually to invest in priorities such as promoting the town, supporting growth, and fostering a safer, stronger environment for the community.
