Families in Poole can take part in a free Easter Egg Trail at The Dolphin shopping centre on Good Friday, 3 April, and Saturday, 4 April 2026. The event runs from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm on both days, offering an interactive activity for children during the school holidays.

To join the trail, participants can pick up a free trail sheet from GATHER, a community space located on the ground floor of the shopping centre opposite H Samuel. After following the clues around the centre, those who complete the trail will win a prize.

The activity is open to children of all ages and is intended to provide a low-cost outing for local households while school is out for the Easter break. According to the BCP Council, the school holiday period in the area runs from 30 March to 10 April 2026.

The Dolphin is the largest indoor shopping centre in Dorset and is owned by Legal & General. The GATHER space is a 1,800-square-foot venue designed for community use, hosting a variety of events throughout the year.
