About

The Antelope is a famous old coaching house set on the High Street of Poole, a 2-minute walk from the Guildhall registry office. Situated a short distance from Poole Quay, the oldest hotel in Poole is the perfect venue to make your day truly unforgettable.

Our function room has recently been refurbished to a very high standard, while still retaining lots of character and stunning period features. The room is large enough to cater for up to 80 guests for a wedding breakfast and up to 120 for an evening reception, and can be arranged to suit your exact requirements. The hotel also has a beautiful outside decking area, perfect for welcoming your guests.

We offer several packages, which include everything from the wedding breakfast and drinks to the bridal suite. There is also the option for you to customise your wedding package in order for it to perfectly suit your needs.

Such amazing value

We had our wedding here in September, and it was lovely. The food and the service was great, and we couldn't believe the value for money... we looked at several other venues nearby, and this one was by far the best value. The staff were great too, couldn't do enough for you, and the honeymoon suite was beautiful.
