All four men were sentenced at the same court on Thursday 18 September 2025.
A further six defendants who stood trial for various offences were all found not guilty.
Detective Sergeant Adam Aggas, of BCP CID, said: “A full and thorough investigation was carried out into the events of what happened that night.
“From our enquiries a significant amount of evidential material was obtained, which enabled us to establish a timeline of events in relation to what took place that evening.
“The victims in this case were subjected to a terrifying experience and I would like to thank them for their courage, throughout both the investigation and subsequent court procedure. All four defendants were involved in an incident where a high level of violence and disorder was used for which they have now been brought to justice.
“Dorset Police does not tolerate violence or disorder within our communities. It is our priority to investigate these offences, identify those involved and ensure that they become the subject of the criminal justice process.”
