The lighthouse was easy to find with parking opposite. Slow to get in as they were checking bags. The signage for where to go was poor. We had not been before so had no idea how to get to main venue.…Full review by Caninecaper

The concert hall is the largest theatre at The Lighthouse but there are other "halls" as well. I prefer to sit as near to the centre as I can and Rows D and E are good because then you can see the expressions on the faces of the performers. Having said that the seating is so well arranged and tiered that you would be able to see from further back as well.
Yes you can and should if there are any events there around that time. The queue at the cafe even for a coffee can go from nothing to 30 minutes in a flash!
Hello I see on here you have a restaurant in the theatre - however there is NO info anywhere about this facility - not even on your website!! PLEASE would you tell me what time it opens & a menu would be helpful - only looking for a bar snack type meal prior to a performance on Saturday Thank you

It’s a very casual cafe canteen type menu. I would eat in Poole Old town before attending.
