What's on in Charlestown

Charlestown in Dorset sits right on the coast where the sea air does wonders for anyone needing a break from the office grind. You might find yourself wandering past the harbour to see what local groups are planning, or perhaps stopping by the community centre if they have a talk on gardening this afternoon. It is easy to slip into a day of doing nothing at all and still feel like you've accomplished something productive. The village has a way of pulling people together for markets or a bit of live music without anyone needing to sign up online first. Even if the only event is a gathering in the park, it feels like enough to justify putting down your phone and walking over. Near Here keeps track of all the local doings so you can plan your week around what's actually happening on your doorstep.
