Lighthouse is an arts centre in Poole, Dorset, described by Arts Council England as the largest arts centre in the UK outside London. It combines a 1,500-seat concert hall — home to the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra — with a 669-seat theatre, a studio, a cinema and gallery space, opposite Poole's bus station. John Cooper Clarke is an English performance poet from Salford, known as the 'Bard of Salford' for the rapid-fire verse he first made his name with during the late-1970s punk era.
