Tractor Family Fun Day At Drusilla's Inn

I used to have a stall at this event many, many years ago, but then the pub was sold. The current owners are now resurrecting this event, and 2026 will be their first one. If you are able to come along, please do. Plenty going on for both kids and parents, bands playing etc.

More about Canford, Little

Dorset, England

Little Canford sits quietly in Dorset with a village hall that has been hosting community gatherings for years. Stapehill Village Hall often fills up with local talent and family-friendly activities without needing to shout about it. It is quite the scene for a Sunday afternoon when the rain holds off or the pub quiz kicks off. We like keeping things simple here so you can find what suits your mood rather than hunting through endless lists. From art classes to amateur theatre, there is plenty of local colour on offer without the fuss. Just drop by and see what neighbours have been cooking up lately.
