✦ Synopsis

For over a decade the Boulby Dark Matter Collaboration has been running WIMP dark matter search experiments at Boulby mine. Facilities at Boulby have recently been upgraded/expanded and the Boulby dark matter search programme is more active than ever. Two experiments currently in operation (ZEPLIN-I, DRIFT-I) and future large-scale experiments are planned and/or under construction (ZEPLIN II/III and DRIFT-II). Here we give an overview of the status and future plans for the Boulby dark matter search programme.
