What's on in Northernhay

Dorset, England

Share:

Northernhay is a quiet corner of Dorset that packs quite a punch for culture without needing to shout about it. The Dorchester Art Centre has been showing off local talent for years while the village green usually hosts something family-friendly in the afternoon. It feels like a proper neighbourhood rather than just another postcode on a map. There are plenty of ways to spend an evening here that don't involve driving out of town. You can catch a performance at the art centre or find a gathering spot near the shops if you prefer your entertainment with a pint in hand. Near Here keeps track of what's going on so you never have to guess whether there's anything worth seeing.

2026-04-18 09:00 - Cerne Giant Festival

Time: Saturday, 18 April 2026 at 09:00Details: Cerne Giant Festival / 8th April to 9th May / / The Cerne Giant Festival consists of a variety of events to encourage participants to gain a deeper understanding of the nature, landscape, history, and culture of Dorset and the Cerne Valley in particular. This year the history events are exploring the Anglo-Saxon roots of Cerne Abbey which are slowly being revealed through the last 3 summers of archaeology. The archaeologists have literally dug through centuries of history and are now turning up some intriguing objects from its earlier history. / This 'Giant' figure is the inspiration for the Cerne Giant Festival, whose strapline is 'Celebrating Humanity in the Landscape'. Every year there are several weeks of events in the Cerne Valley whose purpose is to get us looking more deeply into the landscape and the role of human beings in it. / The events cover a wide range of interests: Nature, History, and Literature & Culture.: There are several events which families will particularly enjoy, including Nature Photography for Families, River-dipping and Fly-casting (hands-on with nets), Giants and Kings (poetry and storytelling, performed by Bards of Dorset), and Kith & Kin (a touring show about a Saxon housewife by professional actor historian Leela Bunce). / / www.cernegiantfestival.orgLocation: Cerne Abbas
