What's on in Holt

Dorset, England

Holt sits right on the coast of Dorset, where the sea air does wonders for your mood and your waistline. It is a place that feels like it has been waiting for you to arrive all week long. The local library hosts reading groups that are just as lively as a seaside promenade, while community halls often turn into dance floors by Friday night. There is plenty of room for markets, fairs, and live music without ever feeling crowded or rushed. You can find everything from art exhibitions to family fun days within easy reach of your front door. Near Here keeps the calendar updated so you never have to guess what's on in this friendly corner of the country.

Starring Colin Baker (Doctor Who, The Brothers) as Sherlock Holmes & Terry Molloy (The Archers, Davros) as Dr Watson After their hugely successful portrayals as SHERLOCK HOLMES & DOCTOR WATSON in The Hound Of The Baskervilles, COLIN BAKER (Doctor Who, The Brothers) & TERRY MOLLOY (The Archers, Doctor Who) are back on stage in another classic adventure for the world’s only consulting detective! What has become of Captain Morstan and why does his daughter now receive a valuable pearl every year from an anonymous benefactor? What begins as a curious puzzle soon becomes a terrifying murder hunt, with the discovery of a missing fortune, a locked room and the murdered body of Bartholomew Sholto – but who committed these heinous, inexplicable crimes and how do they involve a map of the far-off Agra Fort? The case of The Sign Of Four stretches all of Sherlock Holmes’ powers of deduction in a mystery that was born in war-torn India and now stalks Victorian London, fuelled by the vengeance of a seemingly unstoppable, cut-throat band.
