What's on in Bockhampton Cross

Dorset, England

Bockhampton Cross sits quietly in Dorset where the fields stretch out and the pace is slow enough to catch your breath. There are no big venues listed just yet but that doesn't mean there isn't plenty of local life happening in villages nearby. We know the area well and will fill this page as soon as a festival or market decides to set up camp. Until then, keep an eye on our site so you don't miss the next pop-up gig or community gathering down the road.
