See what’s on in and around Bridport this spring!
There is always something happening in West Dorset and now that we are all trying to return to “normality” we hope you can help support our local community.
Many events are taking place both indoors and out. Check out the events page on the What’s On in Dorset website
For those interested in Spring Flowers there is a fabulous Snowdrop Festival in Shaftesbury or the amazing crocus and daffodil displays at Forde Abbey
Lambing events are taking place at a number of farms in the area our favourite is at Kingston Maurward .
Market Days are regular Wednesdays and Saturdays with different stalls on each day if the weather is sunny then stalls appear all over the town. Special Farmers market dates are second Saturday in the months of February & March based in the Arts Centre right at the heart of Bridport town. Other markets include Dorchester on Wednesdays which is semi covered ideal if the weather is not so good.
