More than just a training college

Eat, stay, or host your event at the RNLI

Important road closure and College access/parking information

Sunday 16 and Monday 17 December:

West Quay Road will be closed for resurfacing from the Poole Sea Scout building (past the entrance to Marston Road) to the Hunger Hill roundabout for resurfacing on Sunday 16 December from 07.00am until Monday 17 December. If you are attending an event or visiting the RNLI College during this time you will need to make alternative parking arrangements. Car parking will be available at West Quay Marina car park with access to the College via the blue gates adjacent to the Sea Survival Centre. Any cars left in the College car park after 07.00am on Sunday will not be accessible until Monday 17 Dec after 18.00pm.

What is going on?

The roadworks along West Quay Road are part of a project to create a one-way system with a new cycle lane and wider pavements. For more information the Hunger Hill roadworks, the website is accessible here.

The RNLI College is the home of the RNLI. Crew members from across the UK and Ireland come here to train to be lifesavers. So when you stay at the hotel, eat at the restaurants, or host your event here, you’ll be rubbing shoulders with our lifesavers. And every £1 you spend at the College helps save lives at sea.
