What's on in Bourne Valley

Bourne Valley in Dorset is a quiet stretch of land where the hills do most of the talking and the pubs keep the conversation going. There are usually theatre shows on a Tuesday evening and some local art groups that turn their studios into galleries for a weekend afternoon. You can find a comedy night at one of the community halls if you fancy a laugh without leaving the village. It is not always about the big city lights, but here in the valley you have plenty of room to stretch your legs and catch a festival. The local cinema screens the odd indie film and there are often markets set up near the high street for a Saturday morning stroll. Near Here knows exactly which way the wind blows so you never miss a gig or a fair when the sun goes down.
