What's on in Southlands

Southlands sits quietly in Dorset where the air smells of rain and cut grass rather than exhaust fumes. With no big venues to shout about, we rely on the local community hall for bake sales and the park for picnics that turn into impromptu sing-alongs. It is a place where neighbours know your name before you even knock on the door. The town centre has enough shops to keep a busy weeknight interesting without needing a festival. We gather at the village green for summer fairs or simply chat while waiting for the bus to leave. Near Here keeps track of what is happening so you do not have to stand under a streetlight wondering if anyone is hosting anything tonight.
