Firework cruise around Poole Harbour to raise funds for Diverse Abilities

Join Diverse Abilities this summer on a cruise around Europe’s largest natural harbour on August 25, setting sail at 7:30pm. 

 

This is an incredible opportunity to experience panoramic views of Studland Bay, Sandbanks Peninsula, and Poole Harbour’s islands including Brownsea Island returning to Poole Quay to enjoy the spectacular firework finale at 10pm. 

 

You’ll be greeted aboard the Purbeck Princess with a glass of prosecco, and have the opportunity to purchase drinks from the on-board bar, and enter a raffle to win an epic hamper. 

 

Lucy Rowley, events fundraising officer at Diverse Abilities, commented: “It’s great to be able to run the Poole Harbour fireworks cruise again this August, after the success of last year’s event. We are looking forward to welcoming our supporters on board for a relaxing evening cruise and firework finale, all in aid of Diverse Abilities.”

 

This is a great chance to get together with friends and family to enjoy a summer evening in style, as well as raising money for Diverse Abilities, Dorset’s Disability Charity. The money raised from the evening will go directly to Diverse Abilities to support over 1,000 adults and children with disabilities with more than 200,000 hours of care delivered across Dorset. 

 

Tickets for the three hour cruise are available at diverseabilities.org.uk/fireworks for £25 per adult and £15 per child, with an option to add on a delicious fish and chip supper (or one of our other options) for £8.
