What's on in Loaders Hill

Dorset, England

Loaders Hill sits quietly in Dorset with a charm that makes you want to put your boots down and stay for tea. We know there are plenty of local groups putting on plays or hosting quiz nights without needing to travel far. You won't find crowds pushing and shoving here, just friendly faces gathering for a bit of fun. Near Here keeps track of what's going on so you can drop by before the rain starts again.

Quiet Afternoon at the Fleet Air Arm Museum

The perfect low-sensory environment for a calmer, quieter museum experience. During our quiet afternoon sessions, sounds, lights and interactive elements will be lowered or turned-off to create a low-sensory environment. These sessions are intended to support a range of visitors of all ages, including neurodiverse individuals, people with social, emotional, or mental health needs, those living with dementia, and anyone who may benefit from or simply enjoy a quieter, more relaxed environment. Access during this event will require a valid museum ticket. Sunday 19 April 2026, 2pm to 4.30pm

Elizabeth Lammas presents: Mary Caroline Tyler, née Southcombe

Monday 20th April: Elizabeth Lammas presents: Mary Caroline Tyler, née Southcombe, a true daughter of Milborne Port who certainly did her bit to help bring the war to an end, mentioned in Debrett’s for her achievements. Though not in uniform as her siblings were, she ‘led a group of uniformed Wrens in Hut 7’ at Bletchley Park, but of course could not tell anyone that for 50 years! Her husband, Mr FL Tyler, was a veteran of the D-Day landings. A full and fascinating life. This is a repeat of the highly moving and engaging talk that Elizabeth and Caroline gave on 10th May 2025 as part of our VE Day Commemorations. It was so good that we are offering it again to those who missed it or for those who would like to hear it again!
